MicroStrategy Not Planning to Reduce its Tempo

The zeal to keep hodling the leading crypto coin is an indication of MicroStrategy’s market confidence in Bitcoin. In a podcast, Michael Saylor called Bitcoin a “perfected engineered crypto gold,” citing its potentials as a store of value as well as an hedge against inflation compared to traditional assets. 

“I started going down this rabbit hole of thinking what is money when I starting thinking about what is money when I realized I was going to lose my money and destroy the livelihoods of all my employees…when Jerome Powell states I’ve been thinking of raising interest rates you know your strategy of investing in bonds is broken,” said Saylor. 

The Bitcoin Marxist highlighted BTC’s scarcity and durability as two factors that makes the flagship cryptocurrency a better alternative to several traditional investment strategies including stocks and gold.

Noteworthy, in the face of the present Bitcoin price rally, MicroStrategy has seen significant profit owing to its enormous investment in the coin.
