‘Bitcoin Is for Everyone,’ Says Michael Saylor, as Strategy’s Holdings Top $60 Billion

Michael Saylor, the outspoken founder and chairman of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), made a bold appeal to the masses at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, urging individuals worldwide to embrace Bitcoin as a universal path to wealth.

Speaking to a packed house of Bitcoin die-hards—and likely many more watching online—Saylor described Bitcoin as “perfected capital” and championed it as the answer to generational financial empowerment. “Bitcoin is for everyone,” he declared during his Thursday keynote, titled “21 Ways to Wealth.” He implored listeners to trade fiat, bonds, equities, and even real estate for Bitcoin.

The speech coincides with Strategy’s expanding crypto footprint. As of May 2025, the firm holds over $60B in Bitcoin treasury, comprising 580,250 BTC. The company’s aggressive Bitcoin investment strategy has helped catalyze a broader wave of corporate Bitcoin adoption, with firms like GameStop and Semler Scientific following suit.

Michael Saylor, long hailed for his Bitcoin evangelism, framed BTC not only as an asset but as incorruptible, programmable digital property engineered to outperform traditional instruments.

“Bitcoin is engineered to outperform everything,” he said.

The Strategy CEO also touched on AI’s transformative role in the company’s success.

“Before you ask a lawyer or banker, go to the AI,” Saylor quipped, hinting at how generative models helped shape Strategy’s latest financial products.

Saylor’s provocative tone extended to a critique of modern career advice.

“You don’t need to change the world. Buy Bitcoin,” he stated, citing Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto as the bearer of a wealth creation tool “worth half of everything on Earth.”

The remarks arrive amid a growing trend: Bitcoin wealth creation isn’t just for tech-savvy elites or corporations. Institutional inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs and widespread adoption by public companies underscore what Saylor calls a global pivot toward Bitcoin as digital property.

As reported by The Washington Post and others, Strategy’s roadmap includes issuing preferred stock offerings to further fund its crypto pursuits, showing no signs of slowing.

Saylor’s message, though directed at Bitcoiners, was ultimately aimed at skeptics. And with Bitcoin hovering above $104,000, his confidence remains unshaken.
