Michael Saylor Interview
In a recent interview with ETF Think Tank, Saylor indicated that he intends to continue purchasing bitcoin and that his move has expanded MicroStrategy’s brand reach by a factor of 100.
In the interview, Saylor told Dan Weiskopf, “Bitcoin is one of the most, if not the most, disruptive technologies of the decade, and it’s affecting the energy sector, the investing community, and the technological community.” “That implies it’s upsetting politics and the economy as a whole. So it catches people’s interest, it’s progressive, and it focuses people’s attention.”
