Michael Saylor, founder of <a href="https://coingape.com/news/stocks/coinbase-microstrategy-and-crypto-stocks-record-weekly-upswing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">MicroStrategy</a>, addressed the Bitcoin (BTC) community with a “BTC independence” message on U.S. Independence Day. His tweet included a picture of an American flag with a Bitcoin symbol. Despite the ongoing Bitcoin sell-off, Saylor remains optimistic about Bitcoin’s future.

MicroStrategy continues to buy Bitcoin regularly. In June, the company acquired 11,931 BTC for approximately $786 million. This purchase was funded through proceeds from convertible notes sold to investors and excess cash.

Since the start of the week, <a href="https://coingape.com/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> has lost nearly 10% of its value. The price dropped from $63,630 to $57,300. This decline included a single-day drop of over 5%, marked by a significant red candle on the hourly chart.
Massive sell-offs are occurring across the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin miners and long-term holders are offloading their BTC reserves. Analyst Charles Edwards attributes these sales to the continued downward pressure on Bitcoin prices.

 This is why we haven't mooned yet.
 Saylor, Michael Dell, ETFs. It's all noise.

Michael Saylor’s tweet on July 4 highlighted potential financial independence through Bitcoin. He congratulated the <a href="https://coingape.com/breaking-us-govt-moves-12m-ethereum-is-bitcoin-style-selloff-incoming/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">U.S. Bitcoin community</a>, hinting at Bitcoin’s role in future financial freedom.
