Michael Saylor Hints at More Bitcoin Buys Amid Strategy Stock Slide
Strategy's Michael Saylor is signaling another Bitcoin purchase even as the company's stock keeps losing ground.
If you've been following the saga of Michael Saylor and his ever-growing Bitcoin obsession, buckle up — because it sounds like he's not done shopping.

It's a double-decker ride that can go very high — and very fast in the other direction. Whether Saylor's conviction pays off or becomes a cautionary tale depends almost entirely on where Bitcoin goes from here.
