Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) co-founder and executive chairman Michael Saylor took to CNBC and X today to [dismiss rumors](https://decrypt.co/348737/michael-saylor-denies-bitcoin-sale-rumors-strategy-btc-buys-accelerating) that the company had offloaded part of its Bitcoin treasury, calling the claims “false."

### **What's the scoop?**
- **The Rumor:** A post citing Arkham Analytics data alleged that Strategy’s holdings fell from 484,000 to 437,000 BTC. The claim briefly sent traders on Polymarket into a frenzy, with odds of a 2025 sale spiking [from 3% to 45%](https://protos.com/traders-earned-10x-on-fake-news-that-strategy-sold-bitcoin/).
- **The Reality:** Saylor denied any sales occurred and instead doubled down: “We are buying. We’re buying quite a lot, actually.” 
- **The Balance:** Per a recent SEC filing, Strategy currently owns [nearly 642,000 BTC](https://www.theblock.co/post/378141/best-continue-michael-saylor-strategy-buys-more-bitcoin) (~$62B), and its next preferred stock offering is expected to add another 6,700 BTC. 

### **Bankless take:**
Even as markets wobble, Saylor’s message remains unchanged: never sell, always buy. Whether that stance proves visionary or reckless will depend on how long investors are willing to ride the Bitcoin supercycle he’s still betting on.
