Michael Saylor: Bitcoin’s Gonna Crush S&P 500! (No, Really, We Swear)

Michael Saylor, the man who turned a company called MicroStrategy into a Bitcoin piggy bank, recently told CNBC that crypto’s going to outperform the S&P 500 “over time.” Because nothing says “long-term stability” like a currency that drops 20% every time Elon tweets about dog food.

“We think Bitcoin’s going up more than the S&P index over time,” Saylor said, adding, “We expect 30%, but it doesn’t matter if it’s 10 or 20%.”

Of course! Why quibble over pesky details like “actual math” when you’ve got vibes? Saylor also claimed Bitcoin’s entering a “stronger phase” after correcting from its highs. Translation: “It’s not crashing, it’s pausing to flex its muscles.”

On the CLARITY Act and Tokenization

Saylor called the proposed CLARITY Act (which stands for “Create Lucrative Assets for Rich Idiots Trying Yoga”) a “big deal.” Because nothing says “clarity” like a 900-page bill written by politicians who think blockchain is a type of kale.

“I think the passage of the CLARITY Act will be a big deal,” he said, ignoring the fact that half of Congress still uses AOL.

He also insisted regulators are “waking up” to tokenization. Sure, Jan. Regulators are now all-in on blockchain, which is like your grandma suddenly becoming a tech influencer. “Tokenized securities” will fix everything! Except maybe your tax returns.

“The real power of tokenization is that it creates a free market in credit formation and yield for asset owners,” Saylor explained, which is finance bro for “We’ll make up new words until you give us money.”

Strategy’s Expanding Bitcoin Bet

Saylor bragged that MicroStrategy’s buying Bitcoin “aggressively,” and might “theoretically absorb all newly mined BTC for decades.” Great! Because nothing says “sound investment strategy” like cornering the market on a digital rock.

“The credit market itself is absorbing all of the organic supply of Bitcoin from now to forever,” he said, which sounds like a pyramid scheme but with more spreadsheets.

MicroStrategy currently holds $65 billion worth of Bitcoin, which is roughly the GDP of a small island nation. Saylor claims this makes them “bulletproof” against the S&P 500. Because why trust companies that make actual products when you can bet everything on a meme?

Digital Credit and Bitcoin Yield Products

Saylor hyped MicroStrategy’s “digital credit” products, which use “preferred stock structures” to generate yields. Translation: We’re paying investors with imaginary money that only exists if Bitcoin goes up. Risk-free!

“If you’re a crypto believer and you have working capital, you want to buy digital credit because you get paid four times the money market after tax,” Saylor said, which is either genius or tax fraud. We’ll let the auditors decide.

Despite widespread skepticism, Saylor remains “bullish.” Because when your life’s work is buying Bitcoin instead of, say, fixing your company’s HVAC system, you’ve got no choice but to keep doubling down. “Crypto’s here to stay!” he insisted. Said every man ever caught holding the bag.
