Bitcoin was trading near $83,500 after recovering from a liquidation-driven move toward $81,000, while Bitcoin stayed above $80,000 for a full week. Michael Saylor said Bitcoin’s bear market had ended and said he expects the price to move back above $100,000. Strategy also said it plans to increase its Bitcoin purchases and keep issuing credit products, while saying it can sell part of its holdings when doing so benefits shareholders.

What it means

Who it affects, what changes and what is still unconfirmed

Each sentence links inside to the piece that supports it.

In practice, Strategy’s stated approach still allows it to buy more Bitcoin, issue credit products, and sell part of its holdings under its shareholder test. What has changed is the public posture around Bitcoin’s market phase, with Saylor saying the bear market has ended and that six-figure pricing should return.
