Saylor pauses Bitcoin buys as Strategy posts $3.9B Q3 gain

Strategy’s Bitcoin bet swelled by $3.9 billion in unrealized gains last quarter, even as Michael Saylor broke tradition by skipping a fresh BTC purchase.

Strategy Inc. co-founder and executive chairman Michael Saylor said Monday that the company had a massive $3.9 billion fair value gain on its Bitcoin holdings during the third quarter of the year.
