<p>Michael Saylor, a renowned Bitcoin evangelist, who cofounded MicroStrategy and then turned it into a Bitcoin treasury company, Strategy, has published a tweet about BTC that triggered the crypto community, provoking a positive reaction.</p>
<p>Traditionally, Saylor has published an image of himself, but this time he was drawn by AI in an unusual outfit — a boxer. The caption to this image may also seem a trifle provocative.</p>
<h2 id="you-need-to-fight-for-bitcoin-michael-saylor">"You need to fight for Bitcoin": Michael Saylor</h2>
<p>The AI-generated image depicts Saylor as a boxer sitting in a boxing ring, wearing orange gloves (the Bitcoin-associated color) with a sign featuring the BTC logo — a capital “B” letter with four vertical strokes.</p>
<p>With a bare waist, Saylor is sitting, waiting for an upcoming fight. The tweet boldly states: “Sometimes you need to fight for Bitcoin.”</p>

<p>This tweet was published as the world’s first cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, dropped by more than 2% today, after peaking above $108,860 as a result of a 4% rise between Sunday and Monday. During that short period, Bitcoin added more than $4,000, and by now it has shed $2,000, changing hands at $106,480 per coin.</p>
<p>The community responded with numerous enthusiastic comments. Many praised Bitcoin and Saylor’s role in promoting it, and also Strategy’s accumulation efforts.</p>

<p>On Monday, Strategy astonished the community by announcing yet another consecutive weekly acquisition. This time, the company exceeded several of its previous weekly BTC purchases as it bought 10,100 Bitcoins for approximately $1.05 billion.</p>
<p>The purchase was made on a slight dip when BTC dropped to $104,080. Besides, Saylor’s Strategy announced that it had achieved a Bitcoin yield of more than 19% year-to-date in 2025. Currently, the company holds 592,000 Bitcoins overall, bought at $41.84 billion but currently worth a mind-blowing $63,058,827,630.</p> <a href="https://u.today/michael-saylor-stuns-with-provocative-bitcoin-tweet-fight-for-bitcoin" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Read original article on U.Today</a>
