Michael Saylor: Bitcoin rush brings records and enormous risks!
On May 26, 2025, Bitcoin reached record levels again and was temporarily traded at up to $110,000. This comes in an environment where Michael Saylor, CEO of the former MicroStrategy, now renamed Strategy, plays a key role. Saylor has invested $765 million in Bitcoin over the past few years and currently holds over 330,000 Bitcoin, representing approximately 1.58% of all units available worldwide, with a total value of over $40 billion. Loud Focus Saylor transformed the company from a software provider to an aggressive Bitcoin holding company.
In 2020, Strategy invested $250 million in Bitcoin to establish this digital currency as a reliable store of value. Saylor follows a “buy and hold” strategy, even during the recent market turmoil, which has had a positive impact on the company's share price, which has multiplied over the past two years.
Criticism and opportunities
Despite the success, there are also critical voices. Saylor faces allegations of exposing his company to significant risk. Critics have filed a class action lawsuit alleging possible price manipulation. Nevertheless, Saylor is revered as a cult figure in the crypto community and promotes Bitcoin as the currency of the future. He also warns against the devaluation of central bank currencies and sees himself as a pioneer of a new financial era.
In his role as a leading Bitcoin proponent, Saylor warns that the opportunity to accumulate Bitcoin is limited. He describes the current market phase as a “digital gold rush” and predicts that this trend will continue until around January 2035, when around 99% of all Bitcoin (around 20.8 million of a total of 21 million coins) will have been mined Yahoo Finance reported.
Institutional acceptance and future outlook
The current Bitcoin frenzy has been largely fueled by institutional and corporate adoption of Bitcoin, supported by the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs. Data suggests that around 165,000 BTC will be mined this year, with public companies acquiring 95,000 BTC in the first quarter alone. Saylor plans to raise up to $42 billion via new stock offerings to further expand his Bitcoin holdings.
Currently, MicroStrategy recently acquired 7,390 BTC for approximately $764.9 million, bringing its total holdings to approximately 576,230 BTC, valued at nearly $61 billion. Saylor estimates that Bitcoin could account for between 7% of global wealth by 2045, potentially driving a single Bitcoin to $13 million. With a current trading value of $106,500, MicroStrategy's $110 billion market valuation reflects nearly double the value of the company's BTC holdings.
