Market context
MicroStrategy, now trading as Strategy, did not announce a Bitcoin purchase between 30 June and 6 July 2026, marking its first week without an acquisition since late March 2025[7]. This break in its six-week streak of buying aligns with the market’s current 1% implied probability for a “Yes” outcome, reflecting the company’s recent pause despite holding over 818,000 BTC and a 9.4% year-to-date yield[1]. Historically, such pauses are rare but have occurred when capital markets tighten or when the firm shifts focus to balance-sheet optimisation rather than immediate accumulation[4].
Traders should monitor official 8-K filings from Strategy and any public statements from Michael Saylor, as these are the sole resolution sources for this market[1]. While the company has committed to its “21/21 Plan” to raise $42 billion for Bitcoin purchases between 2025 and 2027, recent announcements show no new acquisitions in the current window[4]. On-chain, conditional tokens on Polygon settle in USDC, meaning any unexpected announcement would trigger immediate price movement in the contract. With the settlement window ending 7 July 2026, the absence of a filing by now strongly suggests a “No” resolution[7].
Methodology
This page is a comparison snapshot: one live quote, four reference venues with their key attributes, and a single execution path — every trade button routes to PolyGram, which mirrors the Polymarket order book directly.
Resolution & payout
Polymarket-based markets settle through the UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and unchallenged proposals finalise the resolution. Payouts settle automatically in USDC the moment the result is final — no bookmaker, no delay.
Kalshi-based markets settle in USD via the CFTC-regulated clearinghouse. Betfair Exchange settles in GBP/EUR net of commission. Manifold is play-money and does not pay out real funds.
FAQ
- Is this market available outside the US?
- Polymarket itself is geo-blocked in the US/UK/EU. Always check the legal status of prediction markets in your jurisdiction before trading.
- How does resolution work?
- Through the UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon: a proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and USDC payouts settle automatically once the result is final.
- What's the difference between YES and NO shares?
- A YES share pays $1.00 if the event happens, $0 otherwise. A NO share pays $1.00 if the event doesn't happen. The market price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the implied probability.
- How fast are USDC deposits?
- Polygon credits deposits after 12 confirmations — usually under 30 seconds. Withdrawals follow the same path and land back in your wallet within minutes.
- How reliable are the quoted odds?
- The YES/NO percentages are the live mid-prices of the Polymarket order book. On deep markets they move every few seconds; on thinner ones you'll see short plateaus.
