In a recent interview, Strategy’s Michael Saylor characterized the present moment as a pivotal entry point for bitcoin, contending that many of the earlier risks tied to the asset have largely been eliminated.

Michael Saylor: Bitcoin Is the Only Asset the U.S. Would Refuse to Sell

On Monday, Strategy—the firm previously recognized as Microstrategy—announced it had secured 15,355 BTC, bringing its total holdings to 553,555 BTC. Both the company and its founder, Michael Saylor, maintain strong convictions about bitcoin’s potential, and during a recent interview, the Strategy executive articulated why BTC presents an especially compelling case for investment.

“This is kind of a historic entry point, because all of the risk has been stripped off the asset,” Saylor said on stage during his interview. “Like, you pretty much know Wall Street’s gonna embrace it, the U.S. government’s gonna embrace it …which means all banks will embrace it.”

The Strategy executive added:


You already know all those things, and yet the market is really skittish based upon concerns about tariffs, you know, the disposition of the U.S. economy, the interest rate forward graph. So you see, the interest rates are pulled in 30, 40, 50 basis points and and we’re in this macro risk-off zone. When that flips, I think bitcoin will rip forward with a vengeance.

The interviewer acknowledged that while interest from Wall Street is rising, many registered investment advisers (RIAs) are still hesitant. Walking the conference floor, the interviewer found that many advisers are intrigued by bitcoin but continue to wrestle with concerns around its suitability for clients. They wanted to hear directly from Saylor about how he would address the lingering unease about recommending bitcoin within a traditional investment framework.

In response, Saylor framed bitcoin as uniquely endorsed at the highest levels of U.S. leadership. He pointed out that no other asset in modern American history has received such vocal support from a sitting president. 
”In the 21st century, you have just one asset, bitcoin, [with] the president saying, ‘Don’t sell your bitcoin,’ saying more than that, saying the United States won’t sell its bitcoin,” Saylor remarked.

The Strategy founder concluded:

And so everything else you put your client into, if the U.S government seized any other security that you sold to a client, if they seized any collectible, any art, any real estate, they would sell it. The only thing that the U.S. government won’t sell if they are to seize it as bitcoin.
