MicroStrategy's Saylor Is Still Buying Bitcoin

Podcast cover

Bloomberg Television

Michael Saylor, the co-founder and executive chairman of MicroStrategy, shares insights about the company's remarkable Bitcoin investments, which have surpassed $45 billion, driven by buoyant capital markets and a shift in political sentiment. He highlights how MicroStrategy has transformed from a software firm into a Bitcoin treasury powerhouse, showcasing the substantial unrealized gains from its Bitcoin assets. Saylor envisions future growth, suggesting that favorable changes in accounting practices and the growing acceptance of Bitcoin as a treasury asset could pave the way for MicroStrategy's inclusion in the S&P 500. He outlines the company's strategy for acquiring Bitcoin via regulated exchanges, emphasizing a careful approach to minimize market impact. Despite Microsoft’s denial of his investment proposal, he remains confident that more companies will come to recognize Bitcoin’s value as it becomes increasingly mainstream.
