Purchases, average prices and cost come from Strategy's own ledger strategy.com/purchases and its weekly 8-K filings with the SEC. New 8-Ks are picked up automatically every 6 hours (last checked 2026-10-19 07:25 UTC); a Saylor purchase post adds a preliminary row until the 8-K replaces it. The total held above is live from bitcointreasuries.net. Dates are report dates (usually a Monday), not trade dates.

“AI is going to demonetize a lot of equities that are based upon labor and talent. […] Investors are going to look for things that the robots can't make more of.

Saylor memes and the stories behind them
Laser eyes
#LaserRayUntil100K · 2021
When the laser-eyes trend took over Bitcoin Twitter in February 2021, Saylor became its most famous face. On 1 April 2021 he wrote “If you don't understand laser eyes, then you don't understand #Bitcoin.”, and on 10 May 2021 he posted a laser-eyed profile picture with a three-sentence manifesto (“Laser eyes proclaim a technology to guarantee the human rights of life, liberty, & property…”). The deal was to keep the lasers until bitcoin hit $100,000, which happened on 5 December 2024.

“#Bitcoin is hope”
#Bitcoin is hope · 2021
Three words first posted on 1 June 2021 that became his closing line for years, with endless variations: hope for Argentina, for Turkey, for Japan, even “hope for Berkshire Hathaway”. In June 2026 he still listed it among his beliefs: “Bitcoin is hope and economic empowerment for everyone.”

The Sunday tracker post
Sunday ● ● ● · 2024–2026
Almost every Sunday Saylor posts the chart of Strategy's purchases (orange dots, one per buy) with a cryptic caption. For a long time a Sunday chart meant a Monday filing with a new purchase, so traders watch it like a weather forecast. In 2026 the link weakened: a July post (“We're gonna need another color”) came after four weeks without a buy. Today's caption, 11 October 2026: “There’s always room for more orange.” Whether Monday brings a buy is only known from the company's filing.

“I'm buying more”
buying the top forever · 2022–2026
Fans sum up his approach as “I'm buying more”. We did not find a post with exactly those words, so here are the real ones: “I'm going to be buying the top forever.” (3 July 2025) and “Thinking about buying more bitcoin.” (22 January 2026, 1.6 million views).

“Saylor never sells”
Never sell your Bitcoin · 2020–2026
The meme is half true. Saylor posts “Never sell your Bitcoin.” and says he personally has never sold a satoshi. His company is different: MicroStrategy sold 704 BTC in December 2022 for a tax loss (and bought back more), and in June–August 2026 Strategy reported its first net sales, the largest, 2,225 BTC, reported on 6 July. On 1 August 2026 Saylor wrote: “We have never had a ‘never sell’ policy.” Since late August Strategy is a net buyer again.
