Boss mode on, Michael Saylor’s Strategy is on fire

Boss mode on, Michael Saylor’s Strategy is on fire

Once upon a time, back in 1989, a sharp mind named Michael Saylor co-founded a software company called MicroStrategy.

You may have heard about it. Fast forward decades, the game flips, and this ain’t your typical software story anymore.

Nope. It’s about activating the boss mode, owning a colossal stash of Bitcoin, like nobody else.

Debasement-resistance

For a long-long time, MicroStrategy was your everyday business-intelligence tech seller, dealing with companies like McDonald’s.

But then, in August 2020, something happened. Saylor threw down serious cash, about $250 million, buying Bitcoin when others were wary.

The mission? Hedge against that sneaky cash devaluation creeping in. Inflation, in plain English. And that move exploded.

Today, Strategy holds over 628,000 BTC, worth roughly $75 billion at today’s prices. That’s just under 3% of all Bitcoin ever mined. Talk about owning a piece of the pie.

Borrowing and credit amplification

Michael Saylor didn’t just buy and hold like a regular investor. No, this guy’s playing chess while others play checkers.

Strategy ramps up its exposure by borrowing, doubling even quadrupling its Bitcoin stack using the so-called credit amplification method.

Basically, issuing convertible notes and preferred stock to pull cash from equity and credit markets, tools the average Bitcoin owner dreams of but can’t touch.

This financial muscle flex turns Strategy’s stock into a Bitcoin proxy on steroids.

While Bitcoin floats around $120,000 , Saylor’s stock has hit near $400, trading at a premium because investors aren’t just betting on Bitcoin’s price.

They’re betting on leverage, liquidity, and Wall Street access. And it works.

The ultimate play

Strategy’s stock lands itself in big league indices like NASDAQ 100 and Russell 1000, meaning passive funds keep raining cash, regardless of Bitcoin’s mood swings.

So, even when Bitcoin gets volatile, Saylor’s company rides steady, raising billions through clever financial engineering.

This year alone, millions poured into new preferred shares to fund furious Bitcoin buys.

So, Strategy is now a Bitcoin treasury machine, designing financial products around digital capital.

Saylor’s vision is pretty clear, wrap Bitcoin in investment tools that tame volatility and offer premium yield.

For investors craving Bitcoin exposure with an extra punch, more firepower, more reach, Strategy is the ultimate play. The golden joker in the deck.

A decade-long tug-of-war ends: "Crypto Market Structure Bill" sprints to the Senate

At the Blockchain Association Policy Summit, U.S. Senators Gillibrand and Lummis stated that the "Crypto Market Structure Bill" is expected to have its draft released by the end of this week, with revisions and hearings scheduled for next week. The bill aims to establish clear boundaries for digital assets by adopting a classification-based regulatory framework, clearly distinguishing between digital commodities and digital securities, and providing a pathway for exemptions for mature blockchains to ensure that regulation does not stifle technological progress. The bill also requires digital commodity trading platforms to register with the CFTC and establishes a joint advisory committee to prevent regulatory gaps or overlapping oversight.
