Michael Saylor, vocal Bitcoin evangelist and co-founder of giant MicroStrategy, has published a cryptic post on his X account (formerly known as Twitter) that may indicate a new buy-the-dip opportunity for BTC.
His post came as the world’s leading cryptocurrency plunged more than 2% overnight, hitting the $58,300 mark. However, this is not the biggest price drop Bitcoin has seen recently.
Saylor’s optimistic Bitcoin statement
Michael Saylor, known for his constant bullish attitude towards Bitcoin and his advocacy, which also underlies his business intelligence software MicroStrategy, which ensures that his company regularly adds more BTC to its stash, has posted an intriguing tweet – an image of a heavy truck with a BTC mascot on the side.
The message posted by Saylor along with this image reads: “We’re going to need a bigger truck. #Bitcoin.” Many commenters reacted positively to Saylor’s message and shared their optimistic view on BTC.

Are institutions selling Bitcoin?
A recent post by analytics account @lookonchain on X shows that Ceffu, a company that provides custody and liquidity solutions for financial institutions, has transferred a whopping $211 million (3,568 BTC) worth of cryptocurrencies since the end of July this year.
The analysis account concluded that this could be a sign that financial institutions are dumping their bitcoins.
While this is happening, some of the spot Bitcoin ETFs continue to absorb BTC. On August 16, Fidelity and Bitwise ETFs saw inflows of 284 and 109 BTC, respectively. However, investors continue to withdraw their Bitcoins from Grayscale’s GBTC. On Friday, the total outflow from this BTC exchange-traded fund was 975 BTC.
