On December 15, Saylor posted on X, questioning whether the Bitcoin portfolio tracker, SaylorTracker, might be "missing a green dot", a phrase synonymous with MicroStrategy’s new Bitcoin purchases.

The timing of this purchase aligns with Bitcoin’s recent rally to a new peak of $106,554, achieved on December 14. Saylor has previously stated his belief that Bitcoin's value will continue climbing, even asserting that he is prepared to buy at $1 million per coin.

As of December 15, MicroStrategy's Bitcoin holdings stand at 423,650 BTC, valued at over $43.6 billion. If the company continues its current pace, its portfolio could soon surpass $50 billion.

MicroStrategy’s latest Bitcoin purchase marks a historic milestone, but the company’s ambitions don’t stop there. Recently, Michael Saylor made a pitch to Microsoft to invest in Bitcoin. What did Saylor say in his proposal? Read the full story.
