Catenaa, Wednesday, February 11, 2026- Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor said bitcoin is positioned to outperform US equity benchmarks over the coming years, even as recent market volatility pressures crypto prices and related stocks.
Speaking Tuesday on CNBC, Saylor said he expects bitcoin to deliver returns that exceed those of the S&P 500 over a multi-year horizon.
His comments come as bitcoin trades below $70,000 after retreating from record highs above $126,000 reached in October 2025. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/people-rest-world-knew-know-223552089.html
The pullback has weighed on shares of Strategy, the company formerly known as MicroStrategy, which has built one of the largest corporate bitcoin treasuries.
The stock recently fell near $103 before rebounding to about $138 this week. Bitcoin has declined about 9% over the past week, according to market data.
Despite the downturn, Strategy has continued accumulating bitcoin. The company disclosed this week that it purchased an additional 1,142 bitcoin for roughly $90 million.
That brought total holdings to 714,644 bitcoin, representing more than 3.4% of the asset’s fixed supply. The market value of those holdings currently sits below the firm’s total purchase cost following the recent price slide.
Saylor rejected the idea that prolonged weakness would force the company to liquidate its holdings. He reiterated that Strategy plans to continue adding bitcoin on a regular basis rather than selling into volatility.
Company executives have previously told investors that Strategy’s balance sheet would face serious pressure only under an extreme scenario in which bitcoin fell about 90% and remained at depressed levels for several years.
Saylor characterized sharp price swings as part of bitcoin’s appeal, saying long-term investors focus on performance over years, not short-term market moves.
