Michael Saylor Calls On Saudi Arabia: 'Invest In Bitcoin And Grow Your Wealth A Thousandfold'

Michael Saylor is one of the most passionate advocates of Bitcoin (BTC). Whether the price is rising or taking a dip, he and his company, Strategy—formerly known as MicroStrategy—continue to relentlessly accumulate BTC. In a recent interview, he reiterated his confidence in the digital currency, this time turning his attention to wealthy Saudi Arabia.

Everything on Bitcoin

Saudi Arabia has a staggering amount of money, thanks in large part to its vast oil reserves. With a $930 billion Sovereign Wealth Fund, the country has the financial resources to play a big part in the crypto market. Saylor has made his opinion loud and clear: that money should go into Bitcoin.

Of course, it’s highly unlikely that Saudi Arabia will actually take this step. But let’s fantasize for a moment: if they were to invest their entire fund in Bitcoin, they would swallow up almost half of the digital currency’s current market cap, which is currently hovering around $2 trillion. For comparison, Strategy, Saylor’s firm, currently holds around $57 billion worth of BTC.

Saylor also has clear advice for regular investors: invest in Bitcoin. “Convert 5% of your assets into the digital currency,” he advises. But who stops at 5%? Saylor even thinks it’s a good idea to borrow extra money and then invest it in Bitcoin. His argument? BTC increases by an average of 29% per year. If that trend continues, your assets could increase by a thousand times over the next few decades. It sounds like a digital fairy tale, doesn’t it?

Strategy keeps buying

Saylor is not one to make empty promises. He recently purchased another 1.895 BTC with Strategy, worth around $180 million. This brings the total number of tokens that Strategy now holds to 555.450. But the ambitions reach further: with the new 42/42 Plan, the company plans to raise an additional $42 billion to further expand its Bitcoin supply. With a current price of $414, Strategy's stock is even approaching a new all-time high (ATH).
