Bitcoin & Certainty

While the crypto asset industry faces fear and uncertainty over regulatory clarity in the United States, trading of Bitcoin is hardly contested by regulators. Speaking to CNBC, Saylor said Bitcoin is the “Most certain thing in an economy full of uncertainty.” Also, he welcomed the spot ETF developments from the financial giants. However, he rejected the argument that the ETFs would threaten his company’s investment strategy.

“You can think of Bitcoin as a beautiful house in a scary neighborhood that you have to pay in cash and takes a year to buy and never rent. Whereas the spot Bitcoin ETF is like the same beatiful house in a nice neighborhood that you can buy tomorrow with no down payment.”

Meanwhile, the MicroStrategy stock went up by over 200% since the beginning of the year 2023.
