Michael Saylor puts pressure on the government: US must buy Bitcoin massively

Michael Saylor refuses to watch longer from the sidelines. The founder of Strategy calls on the US government to get full in Bitcoin (BTC), and quickly too. According to him, the time of waiting for judicial seizures is over. According to Saylor, Washington has to enter the market itself.

‘Buy Bitcoin before the rest of the world understands’

In a recent interview, Saylor argued for a national Bitcoin reserve in which new coins are actively purchased. According to him, it is essential for the United States to buy BTC massively before other superpowers. “All the capital in the world will flow to CyberSpace, into the Bitcoin network,” said Saylor.

The plan for a national Bitcoin reserve was recorded in March 2025 via a presidential order of Donald Trump. So far, that reserve consists exclusively of seized BTC, including thousands of coins from the notorious Silk Road case. Active purchases were excluded, until Minister of Finance Scott Bessent rotated in August. According to him, “budget -neutral options” are taken seriously to add extra bitcoin to the state treasury.

In the meantime, Saylor sets a good example with his own company. Strategy recently bought 1,955 Bitcoin, good for an investment of more than $ 217 million. This means that the company now has 638,460 BTC, almost 3.2 percent of the total circulating stock, worth more than $ 72.70 billion. The average purchase price is 73,880 dollars per coin. This means that the company is on paper more than $ 25 billion in the Plus.

Other countries switch to BTC

More and more countries are taking steps towards a national Bitcoin reserve. El Salvador was the first to start buying BTC in 2021 and now owns 6,283 Bitcoin. At the end of August, the Philippines also submitted a bill to purchase 10,000 BTC in five years. Those coins must be detained for twenty years as a strategic emergency fund, similar to the role of gold in traditional reserves.

Saylor strategy under fire

Yet it is not just sunshine. The criticism of Saylor’s aggressive strategy is growing. To prevent listed companies from abusing their listing to collect capital for large-scale crypto investments, the American Tech Fair has introduced new rules.

Companies such as Strategy can now only spend new shares for crypto purchases as shareholders explicitly agree. Ripple CEO David Schwartz also calls the approach to Strategy “life-threatening”, because, according to him, the company is extremely dependent on one activa class.
