Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor appeared on CNBC's Squawk Box Tuesday morning, pushing back on concerns about the company's financial stability while doubling down on its bitcoin accumulation strategy.
Saylor addressed investor anxiety about the company's growing dividend obligations head-on, framing bitcoin holdings as the superior long-term solution. "We've got 50 years of dividends in bitcoin, two and a half years of dividends in cash," he said, defending the company's ability to meet its commitments to preferred shareholders over an extended time horizon.
On questions about whether market pressure might force the company to liquidate holdings, Saylor was unequivocal. "We're not gonna be selling. We're gonna be buying bitcoin. I expect we'll be buying bitcoin every quarter forever."
The interview comes days after Strategy disclosed its latest purchase — 1,142 BTC for approximately $90 million at an average price of $78,815 per coin, funded through the company's at-the-market equity program. The acquisition brought total holdings to 714,644 BTC at an average cost of roughly $76,056 per coin.
Strategy purchased 41,006 BTC across five weekly tranches in January, including a record 22,305 BTC in the week of January 12–19 — its largest single-week acquisition ever, funded by $2.1 billion in equity issuance.
Saylor's comments reinforce the position he has maintained through prior downturns — that Strategy views bitcoin as a multi-decade treasury asset rather than a trading position, and that short-term volatility does not alter its capital allocation outlook.
