As a researcher with over two decades of experience in the financial markets and a keen observer of the digital asset space, I find myself intrigued by the latest developments surrounding Bitcoin. The recent tweet from Michael Saylor, the vocal Bitcoin evangelist and CEO of MicroStrategy, has sparked renewed interest among investors. His statement “We’re going to need a bigger truck. #Bitcoin” seems to suggest that he expects more significant purchases in the future, which could potentially indicate a buy-the-dip opportunity for those who are bullish on BTC.
Michael Saylor, a passionate advocate for Bitcoin and one of the co-founders of MicroStrategy, recently shared a cryptic message on his social media platform (previously known as Twitter), potentially indicating a potential dip-buying chance for Bitcoin.
As a crypto investor, I woke up to find that the leading global cryptocurrency had dipped over 2%, landing at the $58,300 mark. While this isn’t the steepest drop Bitcoin has experienced lately, it still leaves me pondering its next move.
Saylor’s bullish Bitcoin statement
Michael Saylor, who is well-known for his consistently bullish stance on Bitcoin and the subsequent addition of more Bitcoin to MicroStrategy’s business intelligence firm’s holdings, recently posted an intriguing tweet – a picture of a heavy truck adorned with a Bitcoin mascot.
According to Saylor’s post accompanied by this picture, the statement reads: “A larger vehicle will be required. #Bitcoin.” Numerous analysts expressed favorable views in response to Saylor’s post, offering optimistic predictions about Bitcoin.
We’re going to need a bigger truck. #Bitcoin 🚀

Bitcoin market performance
In the past day, Bitcoin dropped approximately 2.84%, experiencing a significant fall from around $60,000 to the vicinity of $58,300. However, it has since partially recovered and is currently being traded at about $58,620.
Over the past week, the cryptocurrency commonly known as digital gold (Bitcoin) dropped by over 7.5%, falling from approximately $61,330 to around $56,660. However, between its lowest point on Thursday and Sunday, Bitcoin regained a significant portion of those losses, increasing by 6.11% to reach $60,127. This upturn was later followed by a nearly 3% decrease.
Are institutions selling Bitcoin?
According to a recent post from @lookonchain analytics, it’s been revealed that Ceffu, a firm specializing in cryptocurrency custody and liquidity services for financial institutions, has moved approximately 3,568 Bitcoins, equivalent to $211 million, since the end of July this year.
According to the analysis, it appears that some financial institutions could be offloading their Bitcoins.
On or after July 31st, an amount totaling approximately 3,568 Bitcoin ($211.6 million) has been transferred to Binance by the entity known as Ceffu. Given that Ceffu offers custody and liquidity services for institutions, it is reasonable to infer that these institutions may be offloading their Bitcoin holdings.
