Saylor Drops Bitcoin Bombshell: "We’re Not Hogging the Whole Supply"

MicroStrategy’s CEO just flipped the script on Bitcoin maximalists—turns out even the most bullish players aren’t stacking every last satoshi.

### The ‘Not-So-Greedy’ Accumulation Strategy

Michael Saylor’s latest comments reveal a calculated play: strategic accumulation without triggering market panic. No dragon-hoarding here—just cold, institutional-grade positioning.

### Wall Street Whispers: ‘About Damn Time’

Traders are shrugging—after years of ‘number go up’ theatrics, someone finally admitted Bitcoin’s ecosystem needs breathing room. Cue eye-rolls from goldbugs and crypto-anarchists alike.

### The Punchline? Liquidity Matters

Even Bitcoin’s most fanatical adopters now concede: markets need sellers to function. A novel concept for a space that once worshipped ‘HODL’ as scripture.

Bitcoin-Funded IPOs Now A Key Strategy

According to Saylor, Strategy has done four fundraising rounds this year. Two of them pulled in $500 million each, and another brought in $1 billion. The fourth and latest offering, which raised $2.5 billion, was reportedly the biggest IPO of 2025 so far based on gross proceeds.

This business model—raising capital and using it to buy Bitcoin—isn’t just about holding crypto. Saylor believes it turns volatile digital assets into refined securities that can appeal to professional investors. He called the new offering, branded as “Stretch” (STRC), the company’s most exciting product yet.

Public Firms Holding Bitcoin Are Increasing Fast

Saylor also spoke about how other companies are joining the bitcoin movement. He said that more than 160 public companies now hold Bitcoin in their reserves, compared to around 60 a year ago. Public companies in total own about 955,048 BTC, which is 4.55% of the total supply.

He added that Bitcoin is starting to replace traditional assets like gold, real estate, and even equity as a store of value. Saylor argued that Bitcoin is “demonetizing” these older asset classes. For companies looking to increase value for shareholders, he suggested that putting money into Bitcoin makes more sense than holding onto cash or buying things like private equity.

Saylor made it clear that his company isn’t trying to hoard the whole supply of Bitcoin. While he thinks owning 3% to 7% of it isn’t “too much,” he stressed that Strategy wants others to have a share too. He pointed out that BlackRock, through its iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), actually holds more BTC—around 740,896 at the moment.

He also mentioned why big tech firms like Apple and Microsoft don’t buy each other’s stocks or S&P 500 companies. According to him, SEC rules stop them from doing that, so they’re limited to buying back their own shares. Saylor believes that if these rules didn’t exist, many of the large tech companies would likely invest in each other—and maybe even Bitcoin.
