Live BTC/USD Chart

---

Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor posted a Bitcoin chart indicating an upcoming BTC purchase by the company despite the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, which could shake global financial markets when they open on Monday.

The company made its most recent Bitcoin purchase with a comparatively modest acquisition of 1,045 BTC worth roughly $110 million, increasing its total holdings to 582,000 BTC.

SaylorTracker data shows that Strategy’s return on investment has grown by more than 50%. In fiat currency, this translates to unrealized capital gains of over $20 billion.

Saylor’s announcement of an impending Bitcoin acquisition underscores investor confidence in BTC. After escalations by both nations over the weekend, investors are keenly observing how the financial system will respond when markets open on Monday in light of the Israel-Iran conflict and the prevailing uncertainty surrounding global financial markets.

US President Donald Trump warned Tehran against attacking any US targets and asserted that the war could be resolved easily, leading to new attacks between Israel and Iran overnight into Sunday.
Israeli rescue teams searched for survivors using flashlights and sniffer dogs as they combed through the debris of residential buildings destroyed in strikes after authorities reported that at least seven people, including children, had been killed.

The nuclear talks that Washington claimed were the only means to stop Israel’s bombing have been canceled by Tehran.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that Israel’s current attacks pale in comparison to what Iran will experience in the coming days. Trump declared in a message on Truth Social that “the full strength and might of the US Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before if we are attacked in any way, shape, or form by Iran.”

He further stated that we can easily reach an agreement between Israel and Iran to put an end to this brutal war.

Trump provided no information about a potential agreement. Iran claims that 78 people were killed on Friday, the first day of Israel’s campaign, with more casualties reported, including 60 who died when a missile destroyed a 14-story apartment building in Tehran, 29 of whom were children
