“About four years ago I tweeted about owning 17,732 BTC. [С тех пор] I haven’t sold a single bitcoin, I’m just buying,” he said.

In October 2020, Sailor for real reportedly had 17,732 BTC, which was purchased at an average price of $9,882. In December 2021 it confirmed information about the ownership of the same amount in the first cryptocurrency.

In August 2024, when a Bloomberg journalist was asked how many bitcoins Saylor had today, he answered briefly: “At least the same.” Therefore, the founder of MicroStrategy refused to disclose a more precise amount.

“It is an excellent investment fund for an individual, family, institution, company or country. I don’t see a better investment option,” Saylor said.

He also called digital gold “the ultimate US asset” due to recent political events. Saylor noted Sen. Cynthia Lummis’ proposal to bitcoin reserve creation countries. In addition, the presidential candidate Donald Trump saw the first cryptocurrency solution to the US national debt problem.

“I think the conversation has changed and every politician in the world has started to understand that Bitcoin is the most prestigious building in cyberspace, it is the future of ‘ there,” said the founder of MicroStrategy.

Let us remind you that in July Sailor predict Bitcoin will grow to $13 million by 2045.
