Saylor stated:
“This becomes a fait accompli. It’s one of those geopolitical moves where you force all your allies to adopt it first, and then all your adversaries must adopt it.”
Market Impact
Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin purchases have previously triggered positive market developments. Strategy’s stock surged 4.8% during last week’s pre-sale, while Bitcoin climbed above $87,000. Following previous announcements, other crypto-related companies such as Coinbase and Robinhood also saw some gains. Such a large acquisition typically creates buying pressure, signaling bullish sentiment to institutional investors who remain hesitant within the cryptocurrency fence. However, this time, due to a brutal stock market correction, the strategy’s (MSTR) stock sales in the pre-trade still exceeded 4%.

A Trillion-Dollar Vision
Saylor’s Bitcoin institutional investment strategy extends far beyond corporate financial management. He envisions Bitcoin as a $200 trillion asset class by 2045, serving as a global settlement layer powered by AI-driven interactions and transactions. Saylor remarked:
“When Bitcoin spreads in the banking system… and there are trillions of dollars of digital capital, it becomes a virus, not just in the U.S. Therefore, the virus will spread. In this case, it means you will have hundreds of thousands of banks and billions of people.”
Former President Trump’s executive order establishing a U.S. Bitcoin strategic reserve undoubtedly reinforces this vision. The order essentially directs the Treasury not to sell U.S. Bitcoin and to develop more acquisition methods, marking a significant milestone for cryptocurrency market influence and institutional adoption.
Saylor’s influence now transcends his company, as he actively advises nations on Bitcoin strategic reserves. His substantial Bitcoin holdings are likely to serve as a blueprint for other companies and governments, validating many optimistic Bitcoin price predictions for the coming years.
