Just joined @CNBC to talk #Bitcoin , $MSTR , and $STRC . Conviction in our @Strategy is strong. More to come. pic.twitter.com/9eUvEUub8L — Phong Le (@phongle) February 6, 2026 During an interview, Strategy’s CEO, Phong Le, said that the company remains bullish on Bitcoin. When asked to speak to shareholders about the ongoing crypto winter, he said they should hold on, since the crypto asset is just correcting, and that Bitcoin downturns are normal. He referenced the 2022 bear market, which saw BTC prices correct by 75% from $68k to $16k. The executive projected that, over the next seven years, Bitcoin will reach $1 million and its correction will be limited to 25% to $700,000. When asked about the company’s Bitcoin purchases at declining prices, Le said that Bitcoin’s underlying prices do not determine when Strategy will buy Bitcoin. He explained that the company is more focused on the future prices of the crypto asset. Whales buy the dip as smaller investors and miners capitulate Strategy’s recent Bitcoin purchases align with an ongoing trend among whales who have been aggressively purchasing the crypto asset as it continues to dip. A previous Cryptopolitan coverage cited onchain data and reported that whales bought 66,940 Bitcoin on February 6 and transferred the crypto assets into accumulation addresses. The purchase marks the most significant single-day inflow since 2022. The news comes after Bitcoin capitulation spiked last week, triggering more sell-off in the market. More than 30,000 small retail wallets holding less than a full BTC sold all their holdings in less than 24 hours, despite Strategy and other DATs buying Bitcoin. Miners also showed signs of capitulation when Bitcoin slid below $70k. The report also noted that the researchers and analysts predict the downtrend will continue for some time, citing the lack of a bullish catalyst to revive interest in the crypto market and the significant outflows from spot U.S. Bitcoin ETFs in recent weeks.
