Michael Saylor is an American entrepreneur and Bitcoin advocate, born in Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1965. He co-founded the software company MicroStrategy, now called Strategy, in 1989, and from 2020 led it to convert its cash reserves into Bitcoin. He is also the author of The Mobile Wave.
Brian Rose has interviewed Saylor twice on London Real, in 2021 and 2022. They talked about why he sees Bitcoin as the scarcest and most valuable property in the world, the case for a long-term view, and the 2022 crypto downturn.
Both interviews are listed below with a short summary.
Why Bitcoin Is The Apex Property Of The Human Race (July 2021). His core case for Bitcoin. Then watch The Bitcoin Crash & The Future Of Crypto (2022) to hear how he held that view through a downturn.
Saylor describes Bitcoin as the apex property of the human race and the scarcest asset in the world. He argues it is a better store of value than cash, which loses value to inflation.
Speaking in 2022, after Bitcoin fell below $20,000, Saylor said his view was unchanged. He argues that people who hold for the long term, rather than trading on short-term moves, are the ones who benefit.
Saylor led MicroStrategy to become the first major listed company to put its cash reserves into Bitcoin. By the time of his 2022 interview the company held 129,699 bitcoin, and he had stepped down as chief executive to focus on that strategy as executive chairman.
