Michael Saylor: Keep Your Kidney, but Hold On to Your Bitcoin Strategy founder Michael Saylor Michael Saylor said in a May 21 interview with When Shift Happens that Bitcoin is a stronger form of capital preservation than traditional assets. When liquidity is needed, he said people should first sell assets with shorter "half-lives," rather than Bitcoin that could benefit future generations. Saylor compared selling Bitcoin to buy a Ferrari to an ancestor giving up generational wealth for a fancy carriage. Responding to a viral meme, he added: "You should keep your kidney, but more importantly, hold on to your Bitcoin."

Michael Saylor Explains Why He May Sell Bitcoin Strategy founder Michael Saylor Michael Saylor said in a May 9 interview with Bonnie Blockchain that if the company needs to sell a small amount of Bitcoin, it would be to realize capital gains and pay STRC credit dividends. He compared the model to real estate development: raising capital through credit instruments, buying an asset, and later monetizing it through a sale or refinancing after it appreciates. Responding to Peter Schiff's "Ponzi scheme" criticism, Saylor said the more accurate principle is to "never be a net seller of Bitcoin." At this stage, even if Strategy sells 1 Bitcoin, it would buy 10 to 20 at the same time.

Michael Saylor: in the long run, whether we join the S&P 500 doesn't really matter On November 23, MicroStrategy co-founder Michael Saylor said in a CoinDesk podcast interview that whether the S&P 500 includes them doesn't matter in the long run. In discussing how Bitcoin and digital assets are being accepted by the financial world, he pointed out that these assets once faced challenges from credit rating agencies and regulators — even the Basel regulations assigned Bitcoin a value of zero. But now those institutions have started to accept Bitcoin. If Bitcoin truly is digital capital superior to gold, he argued, the invisible hand of the free market will allocate capital accordingly. Short-term decisions by index managers, insurers, or banks won't change this trend — they'll only create bigger opportunities for other investors. Source：

Arthur Hayes: Don't Expect Michael Saylor to Protect Your BTC Wallet BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes Arthur Hayes said in a May 13 interview with The Wolf of All Streets that investors need to understand Michael Saylor's role: he is protecting his own company, not the Bitcoin held by ordinary investors. Hayes said Saylor is a genius in corporate finance, and MicroStrategy's ability to launch related products and derivatives comes from its unique balance sheet and market relationships. He added that this does not mean Saylor is doing anything wrong; rather, he will do what best serves the company's shareholders.

MSTR Shareholder Questions Strategy: I Bought $73K MSTR for My Kids. Now It’s Worth $20K At Strategy's Q2 2026 investor Q&A, livestreamed on Aug. 17, a shareholder said he had invested $73,000 in MSTR for each of his three children, that each investment is now worth only about $20,000, and asked whether the company would consider paying a dividend to common shareholders. CEO Phong Le responded that the company will not pay a common-stock dividend on MSTR, saying it is not the best use of capital. Executive Chairman Michael Saylor said MSTR is essentially an amplified Bitcoin exposure with volatility likely well above Bitcoin itself, and that common-stock investors should have at least a four-year holding horizon — ideally seven to ten years.

Michael Saylor: We Sold Bitcoin to Prove It Wouldn't Crash the Market Strategy founder Michael Saylor Michael Saylor said in an August 6 interview with The Diary Of A CEO that the market believed Strategy could not sell Bitcoin because doing so might cause BTC to crash, leaving the company trapped in a "doom loop" of repeatedly selling equity to pay dividends. To break that narrative, Strategy sold Bitcoin when BTC was trading at around $59,000 to $60,000, and the price instead moved higher. Saylor said the company's break-even point is about 3.2%, meaning that if Bitcoin appreciates by that amount, Strategy can sell part of its BTC to pay dividends without continuing to sell equity.

Michael Saylor: Bitcoin Needs Great Products to Tap Into 99% of Capital Strategy founder Michael Saylor Michael Saylor said in a June 17 interview with BTCPrague that promoting Bitcoin cannot rely only on preaching its asset properties. He compared it to aluminum: the way to sell aluminum is not to say it is lighter than steel, but to build airplanes and sell tickets, letting people buy aluminum through products they use. Saylor said Bitcoin also needs to be embedded in compelling digital products and connected to global capital markets to reach billions of users and companies. "They have 99% of the money," he said. "They're not coming to us. We need to go to them."

He mentioned that utilizing unrealized tax losses due to Bitcoin's volatility for tax planning is a reasonable motive for such sales. Phong Le expressed that despite potential sales at some point, the company will ultimately net increase its overall Bitcoin holdings and Bitcoin per share.

Arthur Hayes: Why Sovereign Nations Prefer Gold Over Bitcoin On gold vs. Bitcoin differences, Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, emphasized sovereign nations still favor gold as a safe-haven, while individual investors prefer Bitcoin’s high volatility and self-custody advantages. He forecasts Bitcoin may align with gold on the dollar debasement narrative long-term, though sovereign buying will differentiate their short-term performance. Notably, he cited recent Yuan-settled oil trades between Saudi Arabia and China—a geopolitical shift that could weaken the U.S. dollar’s hegemony and support Bitcoin’s long-term value. Video Source:

He stated that, excluding stablecoins, Bitcoin's dominance in the crypto market has climbed from around 41% in 2021 to nearly 70%. Saylor believes that market confidence in Ethereum has collapsed, and it is now locked in an intense competition with other tokens like Solana and BNB. This ongoing battle has exhausted their monetary premium, meaning these tokens will have to rely solely on their utility to survive in the future. He stated that the market evolution over the past 12 months has further established Bitcoin's position as the dominant digital monetary network, solidified its attribute as digital capital, and proven that digital credit is a viable concept.

He owns some Bitcoin and may buy more if prices fall, but he’s watching to see whether MicroStrategy might be forced to deleverage, which could create short-term turmoil. He added that a major “black swan” risk would be a successful crypto hack—including potential quantum threats. Recent vulnerability testing, such as work by Anthropic, will be important for the long-term durability of blockchain technology.

And do you disagree that Bitcoin is money?” This led Saylor out on a more than 8 MINUTE LONG word salad rant. Here’s just a select few gems from his corporate word spagetti. At the end it was more unclear than ever if Saylor thinks Bitcoin is money and what kind of fiat abomination SR-strcUSX is. 🤷‍♂️
