Michael Saylor: The Man Who Fed Wall Street to Bitcoin And Laughed

Five years. Yes, five! Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin wager, a tale that could only unfold in a world more insane than Saylor’s dreams, has reached its fifth chapter. The staid halls of Strategy (once called MicroStrategy, until someone decided syllables were overrated) were upturned on August 11, 2020, when Saylor thundered that Bitcoin would be their main treasury asset. Banks wept, brokers gasped. Some checked the calendar for April Fool’s Day. It wasn’t.

Saylor’s gamble-a word too gentle for his audacity-thrust him back onto the billionaire’s throne. This, after his infamous $6 billion vanishing act in March 2020. Yes, he lost more in a day than most lose in a lifetime, but who’s counting? Oh right, everyone. But with Bitcoin now, the man’s become a corporate folk hero and meme king. 📈💰

Strategy’s vaults now groan under roughly $75 billion in Bitcoin. The company stands, proud and slightly manic, as the planet’s largest single Bitcoin hoarder. The competition? Eating scraps, dreaming dreams-while Saylor quietly approaches owning 3% of Bitcoin’s supply. He claims that controlling up to 7% isn’t “too much.” On Wall Street, jaws relocate somewhere near shoelaces. 🥴🧠

Metaplanet’s Gerovich Joins The Saylor Circus

The world turns, Bitcoiners toast across time zones. Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich, not one to miss a party, jumps onto X and serenades Saylor for his Bitcoin bravado. He waxes poetic: “It cannot be underestimated what a positive impact Michael Saylor and the Strategy team have had on corporate Bitcoin adoption worldwide, including inspiring our own journey.” There’s gratitude, maybe a bit of envy, and-almost audibly-the sound of gold teeth gnashing in boardrooms. 🥂🎉

Oh, You Thought It Was Over?

Gerovich claims we are all children, merely crawling in the shallow puddle of corporate Bitcoin adoption. Last year, his own company joined Saylor’s crusade. Now, 160 public companies clutch at Bitcoin compared to only 60 half a year ago. It’s a stampede; bring popcorn.

In other news: Saylor doesn’t sleep, he buys. Recently, he took to X and delivered another gem for history:

If you don’t stop buying Bitcoin, you won’t stop making Money. 😂
