Michael Saylor, the founder of the largest BTC treasury company in the world, worth over $46 billion, has engineered a perpetual and infinite bid for Bitcoin through a speculative attack on the fiat monetary system.


Let me explain this to you simply in a way that will change how you view money and investing.
Bitcoin is absolutely scarce. There will only ever be 21,000,000 of them. It is digital money and because the supply is limited, unlike the U.S. dollar which is infinite, it acts as a store of value, similar to gold.
The only difference is that the amount of new gold available increases as the price goes up over time — more people mine it to sell because the price is higher. They develop proprietary ways to accumulate it and find it in the ground, ocean, etc. This means that gold’s supply is always increasing and it will continue to increase forever.
Gold has served as a very formidable store of value over the last 5,000 years but let me explain why Bitcoin is different.
Bitcoin is absolutely scarce. That means that no matter what anyone, anywhere in the world does, the supply will not change — it is calculated fact and built into the code. It’s built on supply dynamics. If demand goes up, price goes up and if demand goes down, price goes down.
Michael Saylor is accumulating Bitcoin because it is the gold of the 21st century. It’s a 17 year old asset that is going through price discovery — that means that price has not penetrated into every available market yet like gold has over the last 5,000 years.
So what exactly is Michael Saylor doing to buy more Bitcoin?
He’s selling his company’s stock $MSTR to hungry institutional investors who want exposure to one of the fastest growing assets in the world with a lot of volatility — more risk but potentially better returns. He can print as much stock as he wants, as long as investors demand it.
When the price of Bitcoin goes up and the demand for his stock increases he can use the proceeds to buy Bitcoin.
He is also offering a “bank account” product to his shareholders via $STRC. This allows him to buy Bitcoin when the price goes down and people are scared and frightened of the future due to global uncertainty — like the War in Iran. Investors buy STRC to get a ‘guaranteed’ return of 11.5% — more than 3x a typical money market account.
When the price of Bitcoin goes down the demand for his dividend product goes up because people want ‘guaranteed’ yield on their money and he can use the proceeds to buy Bitcoin.
Ultimately Saylor and the team at Strategy have engineered a financially innovative way to buy Bitcoin regardless of the direction of the price and bid the asset up almost infinitely.
So what’s the catch? The catch is most people haven’t caught on yet.
Strategy currently has 720,737 Bitcoin. Which is nearly 3.5% of all the Bitcoin that will ever exist and they’ve accumulated the majority of this in the last 3 years — and because Bitcoin is a natively digital currency it is being adopted at a rate faster than the speed of the internet. Strategy is accelerating with their adoption of Bitcoin.
So why isn’t price higher if Strategy is buying so much Bitcoin? Because in the short term, Bitcoin can be manipulated just like any other financial asset — large financial institutions can buy it up, sell it aggressively, short the stock, suppress the short term returns and prolong a drawdown during a war or a financial bear market.
However, in the long term, Bitcoin is infinitely scarce and operates outside of the traditional financial system. When the price moves it does so in a violent and aggressive manner leaving many left in the dust, penniless and liquidated.
Michael Saylor has cornered the Bitcoin market and is building himself monster company, Strategy.
I hope this helps someone understand this company and Bitcoin a little bit better in a simple, basic way.
