What Michael Saylor has said

By topic:Bitcoin (9)

“Today was a 4σ day for equities. The S&P 500 fell 4.4% and the Nasdaq fell 5.5%, a decline seen roughly once every 19 months. Bitcoin fell about 5%. $STRC closed at $99.56, just 44 cents below par.”
“Florida elected a Republican governor who backed a U.S. Bitcoin reserve. Texas elected a Democratic senator who voted to create one for his state. The case for holding Bitcoin crosses party lines.”
“Saying there’s no reason to own Bitcoin because AI can hack a crypto app is like saying there’s no reason to speak English because AI can hack a messaging app.”
“Strategy has repurchased $205M of $STRC. As of 10/25/26, we hold 848,517 $BTC and $5.1B of USD Assets. $MSTR”
“Four months ago, we launched our Digital Credit Capital Framework. It’s delivering. Programmatic $STRC buybacks have helped strengthen our credit markets and support $MSTR. We manage the entire capital structure to create long-term shareholder value.”
“At the ParaFi Investor Day this week, I presented an overview of digital capital, credit and equity, and then joined Jeff Park (@dgt10011) for a fireside chat on digital assets, digital intelligence, and the future of finance. 01:23 – Bitcoin as Digital Capital: bull market tailwinds and scarcity in the AI era 05:05 – CLARITY, regulatory tailwinds, and Bitcoin banking adoption 06:06 – Reinventing gold-backed credi…”
“Digital Credit is raising the bar for income investors. $STRC”
“A milestone for Digital Credit: $STRC’s 30-day historical volatility is now 9%, below $SPY. We’re harnessing the power of Bitcoin while reducing price volatility for income investors. This is what financial engineering should do.”
“$STRC is Digital Credit. $IBIT is Digital Capital. $MSTR is Digital Equity.”
