A social media rumor set cryptocurrency markets abuzz on April 27, 2025, after prominent trader Crypto Rover tweeted at 14:23 UTC that MicroStrategy’s executive chairman Michael Saylor planned additional Bitcoin purchases the following day.
While the tweet provided no specific details about the potential acquisition size or its source, the mere suggestion of another Saylor-led buy sent immediate ripples through the market.
The cryptocurrency community’s reaction was swift and decisive. Within one hour of the rumor surfacing, Bitcoin’s price jumped 2.3% from $67,450 to $69,000 according to CoinMarketCap data.
Trading activity surged in parallel, with Binance reporting a 15% volume increase in BTC/USDT pairs that saw 1.2 million BTC change hands between 14:00 and 16:00 UTC.
This market movement reflects Saylor’s well-established reputation as Bitcoin’s most vocal institutional advocate. Since transforming MicroStrategy into a corporate Bitcoin treasury, his purchasing announcements have consistently moved markets.
