MicroStrategy’s Mega-Buy Sparks Debate: Is Corporate Accumulation Overhyped?

[bonk]

Although MicroStrategy continues to position itself as Bitcoin’s biggest corporate accumulator, some critics argue the company’s impact on market price is overstated. After Andrew Tate highlighted the lack of movement following the firm’s 10,600 BTC purchase, skeptics noted that the buy represents just 0.05% of circulating supply — a drop in the ocean when sourced through OTC block trades.
Even Binance founder CZ chimed in, fueling conversation over whether such announcements are more about influencing sentiment than shifting supply-demand dynamics. With today’s breakout driven instead by whale activity, short liquidations, and regulatory catalysts, many traders are now reassessing how significant corporate buys truly are.

Accumulation is real—just not the sole driver of price action anymore.
