Bitcoin Community Speculates About Michael Dell Buying Bitcoin

As a researcher with a background in technology and finance, I have closely followed the Bitcoin community and its developments for several years. The recent speculation surrounding billionaire Michael Dell’s potential purchase of Bitcoin has piqued my interest due to Dell’s ambiguous social media posts and past history with cryptocurrency.


There have been lively discussions within the Bitcoin circle regarding the possibility of Michael Dell, the wealthy entrepreneur, making a significant purchase of Bitcoin.

After the founder of a major tech company expressed a preference for taking concrete steps rather than making verbal commitments on his social media platform.

According to Danny Scott, the CEo and co-founder of CoinCorner, a cryptocurrency exchange based in the UK, various signs are indicative of a potential Bitcoin purchase.

For some time now, Dell has been generating intrigue within the Bitcoin community through cryptic social media messages. This enigma began with a post about scarcity on his social platform, which seemed like an oblique allusion to Bitcoin, the most valuable cryptocurrency due to its restricted supply. Subsequently, he shared an AI-generated image of Cookie Monster from Sesame Street, the beloved children’s television program, devouring Bitcoins with great enthusiasm.

In a surprising turn of events, Dell conducted a poll asking about “the most important thing.” Bitcoin emerged as the frontrunner, outpacing all other contenders in the public vote. Elon Musk, the centibillionaire, reacted to these results with the “Apparently Kid” meme.

As a crypto investor and follower of tech companies, I’d like to share an interesting observation. Back in 2014, when Bitcoin was still not very popular, Dell became one of the pioneers in accepting it as a payment method. However, they stopped supporting Bitcoin transactions in 2017. Lately, though, based on their recent statements, it seems that Dell might be considering re-embracing Bitcoin once again.

As a cryptocurrency investor, I’ve been keeping a close eye on Dell Technologies’ social media activity. Recently, Matthew Hyland, a renowned crypto analyst, pointed out that Dell’s latest post could be a sign of their intent to follow in the footsteps of MicroStrategy’s co-founder, Michael Saylor. By purchasing Bitcoin, just like Saylor did for his company. This move could potentially position Dell as a major player in the crypto space.

As a crypto investor, I find it fascinating how the Bitcoin cycles seem to follow a pattern. In the summer of 2020, Michael Saylor made his entry into Bitcoin by making significant purchases. Fast forward to the summer of 2024, and it looks like Michael Dell is considering doing the same.
