Michael Saylor and Strategy's Bitcoin Purchases
Amid the market turbulence, Michael Saylor, chairman of Strategy, hinted at another potential Bitcoin purchase by sharing a post titled “Back to More Orange Dots” on social media, accompanied by a portfolio chart. Strategy’s most recent acquisition was 10,624 BTC on December 12, 2025, which was the firm's largest buy since late July. Currently, Strategy holds a total of 660,624 BTC, valued at approximately $58.5 billion at current prices. The company’s average cost per coin stands at $74,696, meaning it remains in profit for now.

Market Analysis and Impact of Bank of Japan
Some analysts attribute the increased selling pressure to the upcoming interest rate decision by the Bank of Japan. The prediction platform Polymarket indicates a 98% probability that the central bank will raise rates by 0.25% on Friday. Analyst "NoLimit" emphasized that many are underestimating the potential impact of Japan’s monetary policy on Bitcoin, noting that previous rate hikes in Japan have coincided with significant drops in Bitcoin’s price.

Market Sentiment and Price Expectations
However, not all experts agree on the likely impact. Analyst "Sykodelic" believes that the anticipated rate hike has already been factored into current prices, as markets tend to move in anticipation of such events. Justin d’Anethan, head of research at Arctic Digital, expects Bitcoin to remain within a range of $80,000 to $100,000, as traders wait for a significant catalyst that may not materialize in the near future.
Почему это важно
Для российских майнеров колебания курса биткоина и действия крупных игроков, таких как Strategy, напрямую влияют на доходность майнинга. Решения центральных банков, в том числе Банка Японии, могут вызывать резкие движения на рынке, что важно учитывать при планировании закупок оборудования и расчёте окупаемости.
Что делать?
- Следите за действиями крупных инвесторов и новостями о монетарной политике, особенно в Японии и США.
- Оценивайте риски, связанные с волатильностью биткоина, и учитывайте возможные просадки при расчёте доходности.
- Не принимайте решения о покупке или продаже оборудования только на основе краткосрочных движений рынка.
