Michael Saylor, founder of software company MicroStrategy and a known Bitcoin maximalist, has long emphasized that investors should consider buying Bitcoin.
Thanks to his bold statements, Saylor now has more than 3.5 million followers on X (formerly Twitter). In a recent post, he reiterated his optimistic view and re-emphasized the importance of adding Bitcoin to your portfolio. He wrote: “You’ll wish you bought more Bitcoin.”
MicroStrategy: A Bitcoin giant led by Saylor
Under Saylor’s leadership, MicroStrategy has grown into one of the largest institutional players in the Bitcoin world since 2020. The company has since vastly expanded its Bitcoin supply and currently owns 252,220 BTC. At today’s market value, this represents an astronomical amount of over $17.3 billion.
MicroStrategy continues to buy more Bitcoins. In September, an additional 18,300 BTC were purchased for $1.11 billion, followed by an additional purchase of 7,420 BTC worth $458.2 million. So far, this strategy is proving successful, with an average purchase price of approximately $38,000 per Bitcoin.
Saylor’s personal Bitcoin holdings
Saylor continues to invest in Bitcoin not only through his company, but also personally. In an interview with Bloomberg, he revealed that he himself owns 17,732 BTC, with a current value of over $1.2 billion. Saylor sees Bitcoin as the ultimate investment for both individuals and businesses, comparing the digital currency to gold, but with the added benefit of being easily transmitted digitally over the internet.
