Bitcoin news took center stage this week as Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, made a headline-grabbing purchase of 10,624 BTC worth $963 million. 

The transaction marks its largest buy since mid-September and comes as Bitcoin trades at $92,582, climbing over 2.6% in the past 24 hours with volume up more than 15%. 

Strategy’s bold move reignited speculation about corporate accumulation and fueled trader confidence across both legacy and emerging tokens. 

Meanwhile, Bitcoin Hyper, a rising presale token, is gaining traction among early buyers with over $29 million raised and a price increase set to trigger soon.

Why Saylor’s Strategy Keeps Shaking the Market

The firm now holds around 660,600 BTC, valued at roughly $60 billion, which represents a significant chunk of the 19.96 million BTC in circulation. 

Strategy’s approach of converting equity into Bitcoin remains one of the most aggressive accumulation plays in financial history. Monday’s $963 million purchase was funded by issuing new common stock, keeping with the pattern that began in 2020.

This latest buy equals the company’s entire Bitcoin acquisition over the last three months, a period during which BTC prices hovered closer to $115,000. 

Now, with Bitcoin consolidating just below $93,000, the decision reflects strategic positioning ahead of possible macro catalysts like Federal Reserve announcements and Q1 institutional flows.

How the Market Reacted to the News

Despite the size of the purchase, Strategy’s stock ($STRC) remained relatively flat on Monday, closing near $180. 

While the stock has fallen over 50% from its peak in the past six months, it has recovered +7.5% in the last week. That recovery lines up with Bitcoin holding firm near the $90K support level, which has now turned into a short-term floor for bulls watching volume rise.

Several market watchers feared that Strategy had paused its buying program after skipping the last pullback. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts addressed these concerns in a note, stating that investor anxiety was misplaced. 

The firm had not changed course but was waiting for a strategic moment. The $963 million purchase confirms continued commitment to Bitcoin as a reserve asset.

That reassurance, however, wasn’t enough to prevent price target cuts. Cantor, along with other firms, lowered expectations last week citing risks tied to Strategy’s possible exclusion from MSCI indices. 

Broader Market Signals: Fed Policy and Bitcoin’s Next Move

As Bitcoin news drives short-term optimism, macro conditions still play a powerful role. Markets broadly expect the Federal Reserve to deliver a 25 basis point rate cut this week, which would be the first since early 2024. 

However, CME FedWatch data and Polymarket odds suggest that Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s post-meeting comments may hint at a pause in January to assess inflation and labor market conditions.

A dovish statement could fuel what analysts have called a year-end crypto rally, though some strategists warn that an overly cautious Fed could stall upside momentum. 

Coin Bureau’s Nic Puckrin noted that if Powell leans hawkish, the probability of a Santa rally for Bitcoin fades quickly. Volatility around Fed language is expected to increase into mid-December, particularly as funds rebalance portfolios into 2026.

Still, Bitcoin has held up well in the face of macro uncertainty. With 21M BTC max supply and continued demand from both retail and institutions, price action suggests consolidation rather than weakness. The volume-to-market cap ratio at 3.5% supports that view.

Presale Attention Grows: Bitcoin Hyper Approaches Price Jump

While headlines focus on Strategy’s billion-dollar moves, smaller investors are shifting attention toward new opportunities like Bitcoin Hyper. 

The presale token has already raised over $29 million, with the current price at $0.013405 and a countdown ticking before the next increase. With just over a day left before the price rises, FOMO is building.

Bitcoin Hyper stands out by offering low entry points during a high-interest cycle. Many buyers are looking to capitalize on early-stage altcoins before broader retail sentiment returns. 

As Bitcoin’s gains become slower and more institutionalized, tokens like Bitcoin Hyper become appealing for traders hunting asymmetric upside.
