The $40BN Bitcoin Gamble: Michael Saylor’s Secret Sauce Exposed!

by

Ah, the Financial Times (FT) has gifted us with a rather intriguing half-hour documentary. The star of the show? None other than Michael Saylor, a man who rebranded his business-intelligence company, MicroStrategy, into a “venture” that sounds suspiciously like an elaborate Bitcoin hobby. The documentary, titled: “Michael Saylor’s $40BN Bitcoin Bet,” is a delightful dive into the world of crypto madness. So, grab your popcorn. 🍿

Now, let’s talk Bitcoin. According to this film, Strategy—Saylor’s revamped company—is the biggest whale in the crypto pond. With a treasure chest containing 553,555 BTC (currently worth a modest $57.4 billion), Strategy is, by all accounts, the undisputed champion of crypto hoarding. The sudden surge in MicroStrategy’s stock price has propelled Saylor into the limelight. He’s practically a household name now, gracing CNBC, crypto conferences, and even the front cover of Forbes. Because, why not? If you hold a trillion-dollar bag of Bitcoin, why not ride the wave of fame? 🏄‍♂️

In this riveting documentary, Saylor takes on the title of “financial engineer”—a term that, as far as I know, was not part of any official job description until he made it up. His financial wizardry consists of convincing people that Bitcoin is somehow more than just an investment. Katie Martin, the documentary’s host, interviewed numerous experts in finance and regulation, and she couldn’t help but be drawn in by the siren song of Bitcoin. Apparently, it’s a lot more than just a “digital currency”—it’s a way of life, an ethos, a reason to get up in the morning. 👀

MicroStrategy’s stock is soaring thanks to Bitcoin, with a 400% increase in 2024—outperforming giants like Apple, Nvidia, Meta, and Tesla. Not bad for a company that was originally just selling software. At this rate, MicroStrategy could easily start its own line of NFTs and sell them as “exclusive” crypto art. But, of course, there’s more. Saylor started raising debt in 2020 to buy even more Bitcoin. Because when you’re already holding a mountain of crypto, why not borrow some more to buy even more? Sounds like a plan! 💸

Saylor’s Big Bitcoin Profit Secret: Debt, Hype, and a Dash of Weirdness

The real secret to Saylor’s strategy, however, is the art of hyping Bitcoin while simultaneously hyping his own stock. Experts, who must have gotten bored of the endless Bitcoin hype, pointed out how Saylor cleverly promotes his stock indirectly. How? Well, by pushing Bitcoin like it’s the only thing that matters in the universe. He even posts AI-generated images of himself wearing various professional outfits, wandering through surreal locations, all to… drumroll please… promote Bitcoin. Yes, you heard that right. It’s a bit “weird” according to the experts. But hey, weird works, right? 🤷‍♂️

And, of course, it’s all about that sweet, sweet debt. The premium on MicroStrategy’s stock increases when Bitcoin’s price rises. It’s a beautiful, self-sustaining cycle. The more Bitcoin goes up, the more the stock price goes up, and the more Saylor can sell more debt to buy even more Bitcoin. Is this financial wizardry or just an elaborate pyramid scheme? Only time will tell. But for now, let’s all just sit back and watch the show. 🎭
