Michael Saylor Admits His ‘Big Mistake’ on Bitcoin, Says Price Falling After Strategy’s $2B Purchase Is ‘Good Thing’
Michael Saylor, founder of MicroStrategy, stated that Bitcoin's lack of price increase following the company's recent $2 billion purchase is a sign of market maturity, not weakness. He views this stability as positive, indicating Bitcoin's resilience to manipulation and its evolution into a global capital network rather than a speculative asset. Saylor admitted his past skepticism about Bitcoin was a "big mistake," referencing his 2013 comment that Bitcoin's "days are numbered." He remains highly bullish, expecting Bitcoin to appreciate 30% annually for the next 20 years, and emphasized its advantages over traditional assets due to its lack of employees, management, or counterparty risk. MicroStrategy now holds 671,268 Bitcoin, acquired at an average price of $74,972 each.
