Bitcoin Speculation Grows After Michael Saylor’s “Back to Orange” Message

Bitcoin conversation crops up again on December 28, 2025, when Michael Saylor posts a status update with the words “Back to Orange,” a slogan adopted by Bitcoin supporters.

The update came when the BTC market headed sideways around the top level of the $80,000 range. While the market action was stagnant, the expectations continued to build. In his update, Michael included a picture of his portfolio, showing the Strategy BTC investment portfolio worth around $58.92 billion.

Schiff Questions Strategy’s Bitcoin Funding

Shortly after this post went live, Bitcoin doubter Peter Schiff made a public comment. He disputed the intended implication of “Back to Orange,” as well as Strategy’s means of funding additional Bitcoin acquisitions.

Questions about potential sources of funding, involving the use of cash, the sale of shares at a discount, or dilution when shares are sold for less than net asset value, have concerned Schiff. His comments again moved the focus to sustainability and share price effect, issues that have trailed the BTC-centric strategy of the Strategy for many years.

The timing of his comments was particularly notable, as he made them immediately following Saylor’s message and placed the debate within the context of how much further Strategy can push before it impacts its balance sheet.

Strategy Pauses Bitcoin Buying Again

The latest news from Strategy reveals that it made no BTC acquisitions, while its cash balance grew to $2.19 billion. The combination of the halt in stock buying and the accumulation of funds has led to rumors that the firm might be deliberately stockpiling funds. The view is that the firm might be expecting a large acquisition instead of buying stocks.

Historically, Strategy has regularly verified BTC acquisitions through regulatory filings or official statements made at the beginning of the next week. This convention has conditioned observers to start considering short social media messages rather than treating them as official confirmations.

Bitcoin Confidence Meets Caution Again

The point of interest in this situation is the sequence of events that follow. There is a short and symbolic transmission from Saylor. Then there is a direct comment from Schiff. At this point, Strategy has a balance sheet that displays higher liquidity but no recent purchasing.

Whether “Back to Orange” is a signal of an accumulation round in BTC or simply a reinforcement of confidence is unclear. What is evident is that the scenario illustrates the gap that exists between confidence and caution. As has been the case before, answers will emerge from filings, not from social media.
