MicroStrategy CEO Saylor announced a major move for the company—purchasing 22,305 BTC with a single transaction worth $2.13 billion, at an average price of $95,284 per BTC. This not only sets a new record for the company's single purchase since launching its BTC reserve strategy in 2020 but also represents the highest volume and capital scale in history.

This publicly traded company(, with stock code MSTR), being the first in the US stock market to include BTC as a core reserve asset, each increase in holdings acts like a signal, attracting market attention. Its investment decisions often reflect the true attitude of institutions toward cryptocurrencies.

Interestingly, with BTC prices around $90,000, some are still saying "buying at a high point is really awkward." But this precisely highlights the fundamental difference between two types of investors—one focuses on the long-term value and industry development, while the other swings with price fluctuations. The former will be the ones laughing last.

What’s more noteworthy is that MicroStrategy’s accumulation pace has clearly accelerated. By the end of 2025, they might buy one or two hundred BTC at a time. By January 12, 2026, they had increased holdings by 13,627 BTC, and with this recent purchase of 22,305 BTC, they have been continuously making large-scale acquisitions in a short period. What does this intense activity reflect? A firm bet on BTC’s long-term prospects, or a bottom-fishing psychology? The market is giving its own answer.

Saylor's move is really brilliant, directly investing 22,305 coins. This is the way institutions should operate. Institutions are疯狂 buying, retail investors are still shouting at high prices. I think I’ve figured it out. Such intensive operations in a short period of time, either they are really confident that Bitcoin will take off, or they know something we don't. We small retail investors, following the big whales and just grabbing some leftovers is already good. Really, look at how this pace is accelerating. We used to just get by, but now they are directly sweeping so much at once, it’s a full all-in move.

I need to point out a problem: you have not provided a specific **content language** designation. Based on the article content being in Chinese, I assume it should be generated in **Chinese**. Here are 5 differentiated comments: 1. Saylor's move this time has tightly grasped retail investors' mentality 2. Investing 2.13 billion, institutions really don't care about this slight fluctuation 3. The key is speed, going from one or two hundred to over twenty thousand coins, is it really optimistic or just grabbing chips? 4. The gap between long-term holding and short-term fluctuations is so big, some people really should take a look at their accounts 5. A new high in a single transaction, it feels like the story will continue to unfold

Saylor is really a BTC believer. He’s willing to spend 2.1 billion without blinking. I’m impressed. Institutions dare to play like this, while retail investors are still debating whether 90,000 is the top. The mindset gap is huge. They are pouring in so much in the short term; either they know something we don’t, or they are truly all-in on their faith. Watching the accumulation pace accelerate, I think this guy might be strategically positioning himself for some major events. Honestly, institutions that can hold for so long are definitely more rational than us. Respect.

Saylor's move is really brilliant. Investing so much money continuously in a short period shows he's not afraid of a dip at all. Compared to those who keep shouting about high positions every day, the vision is just way different.

That guy Saylor is really just hoarding like crazy, swallowing 22,305 coins in one go... Institutions are just institutions, with a different perspective.

Saylor's move is really brilliant. Spending so much money in such a short time, either they have some information or they are truly all-in on Bitcoin. There's no middle ground. Friends still shouting about high prices, wake up. Institutions have long considered BTC a strategic asset. You're really underestimating this thing by stressing over 90,000 or 80,000. This pace clearly looks like bottom-fishing, jumping from a few hundred to tens of thousands in holdings. If it's not bottom logic, who dares to do this? Honestly, every time MicroStrategy makes a move, it's teaching us what true HODLer mentality is.

Saylor's move is incredible, acquiring 22,305 coins in one go. Institutions are truly different. Those who bought in at high prices should reflect on their strategy and see how others are playing. From a few hundred to over twenty thousand coins, this pace... clearly something is being sensed. Are long-term optimism and short-term trading really that different? Those who laugh last have already jumped on board. MicroStrategy is playing chess, and every move is telling us something.
