Michael Saylor, co-founder of Strategy, has hinted at a new Bitcoin purchase as tensions escalate in the Middle East.
Despite growing geopolitical risk, Saylor’s latest chart post suggests confidence in BTC’s resilience and long-term outlook.
The company’s most recent acquisition took place on June 9, when it bought 1,045 BTC worth roughly $110 million.
This brought Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to 582,000 BTC, making it the largest corporate holder of the asset.
Data from SaylorTracker shows that the firm is currently sitting on over $20 billion in unrealized capital gains, representing a more than 50% return.
Geopolitical Risks Fail to Shake Bitcoin Confidence
While investors await the opening of global markets on Monday, Bitcoin has managed to maintain relative stability.
On Thursday evening, Israel launched airstrikes on Tehran, escalating tensions with Iran.
Despite the potential implications, Bitcoin only fell 3% following the news and has since held steady around $105,000.
This price resilience appears to be supporting continued institutional interest.
ETFs See Heavy Inflows Despite Global Uncertainty
Bitcoin ETFs have recorded five consecutive days of inflows, totaling more than $1.3 billion this week alone, according to Farside Investors.
These inflows have come amid overlapping uncertainties, including new trade tariffs, economic concerns in the U.S., and the conflict in the Middle East.
Investor sentiment remains strong, as evidenced by the Crypto Fear and Greed Index, which currently sits at 60 — a level that indicates “greed” and suggests ongoing bullish sentiment.
Potential Oil Shock Remains a Threat
While crypto markets have proven resilient for now, analysts are still closely monitoring global energy markets.
Coin Bureau founder Nic Puckrin warned that a closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran could have broader consequences.
The Strait is a key oil transit route, accounting for approximately 20% of global oil shipments.
“Energy is a necessary input at all levels of the economic production process,” he said, noting that any sharp rise in oil prices could ripple through global financial markets and negatively affect risk assets like Bitcoin.
Institutional Bitcoin Buying Continues Despite Volatility
Saylor’s post suggests that Strategy remains undeterred by the latest geopolitical flashpoints.
The firm’s steady Bitcoin acquisitions, even during moments of crisis, reflect a broader institutional strategy focused on long-term accumulation rather than short-term price swings.
This approach appears to align with the sentiment of other major investors who view BTC as a hedge against both inflation and fiat instability.
As the global financial system braces for the week ahead, all eyes are on how markets will respond to the unfolding situation — and whether Bitcoin’s stability can hold.
