The prominent bitcoin bull Michael Saylor – Chief Executive Officer at MicroStrategy – described his company as the “world’s largest publicly traded corporate owner” of the leading digital asset. He asserted that the organization will keep its pro-BTC stance and acquire more tokens in the future:

“We will continue to evaluate opportunities to raise additional capital to execute on our bitcoin strategy.”

In fact, “Acquire And Hold Bitcoin” is one of the main corporate goals of MicroStrategy. More specifically: purchase BTC through the use of excess cash flows and debt and equity transactions; hold the primary cryptocurrency for the long-term; and provide leadership among the community.

No BTC Price Can Make Michael Saylor Sell

MicroStrategy’s leader is, by all means, one of the biggest proponents of bitcoin. In a recent appearance, he asserted his support by saying that no force can make him sell any tokens, whether his personal ones or those belonging to the company he runs.

As a true advocate of the asset, he opposed Peter Schiff. The latter, who is a well-known critic of the cryptocurrency industry, claimed that BTC is an asset that “has an even greater potential to make you poor.” On the contrary, Saylor said, “there is a much bigger chance to become rich by buying bitcoin than buying gold.”

To prove his point, MicroStrategy’s CEO added that people can generate wealth if they invest in a “big tech dominant digital network that everybody needs, nobody understands, and nobody can stop.” It sounds like an appropriate description not only of bitcoin but also of Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Apple in their early days.
