Michael Saylor Discloses Bitcoin Overlook Expense: Insights
In a recent development, Strategy, a leading company, announced the purchase of 4,980 Bitcoins for $531.9 million at the end of June, marking a significant investment in the digital currency. This move comes as Executive Chairman of Strategy, Michael Saylor, continues to express his views and make predictions about Bitcoin's role in the digital economy.
Saylor has made varied predictions for Bitcoin's future price, initially suggesting that it could reach $1 million per coin. More recently, he predicted that Bitcoin could hit $21 million over the next 21 years, reflecting a bullish outlook driven by regulatory changes and increased demand.
The crypto winter, according to Saylor, is over, reflecting his confidence in Bitcoin's maturation and its irreversible adoption trajectory. He emphasises the growing role of institutional investors in Bitcoin's adoption, with thousands of corporations and sovereign wealth funds treating Bitcoin as a reserve asset.
Saylor argues that Bitcoin's limited supply, with only 450 new coins mined daily, creates upward pressure on the price when demand exceeds this supply. He also notes that Bitcoin is transitioning from being seen as a risk to being viewed as a reserve asset, which will reshape balance sheets across the globe.
Meanwhile, the S&P 500 has increased by approximately 115% during the same period, while Bitcoin has climbed by around 1,000%. Strategy's stock has risen by more than 3,300% since Michael Saylor began purchasing Bitcoin in mid-2020. At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $108,025, down 0.07% in the prior 24 hours, having reached a high of $110,590 on July 3, its strongest price since June 9.
Strategy recorded an unrealized gain of over $14 billion in the second quarter, holding 597,325 Bitcoins, acquired for approximately $42.40 billion at nearly $70,982 per Bitcoin as of June 29, 2021.

Elon Musk's endorsement has pushed Bitcoin's price nearly to $110,000, and Adam Back, a Satoshi Nakamoto ally, predicts that the gold price will crash, not Bitcoin.
Prospective updates on the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve are expected in July, and on July 22 marks the final deadline for action on the long-awaited crypto executive order. Saylor has transformed his business intelligence software company into the world's first and most leveraged Bitcoin proxy over the last five years, and he views Bitcoin as a means of individual freedom and a way to avoid becoming subjects in a digital system.
