On 2026-06-04, with Bitcoin sliding toward $64,000 in its worst week since the FTX collapse, CNBC's Jim Cramer declared 'Saylor murdered Bitcoin' on X — pinning the rout on Strategy's first sale in four years and conceding he might rethink his pro-BTC stance now that its biggest 'trampoline' had stopped buying. Michael Saylor fired back: 'It's just a flesh wound, Jim.' A Monty Python retort to a murder charge — the obituary genre at its most theatrical.
