Michael Dell Is Seriously Considering Bitcoin, Here’s New Proof

As a researcher with a background in technology and finance, I find Michael Dell’s recent interest in Bitcoin intriguing. His poll on Twitter about the most important thing, which received the highest number of votes for Bitcoin, indicates that his followers and possibly even he may hold a deep appreciation for cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin.


Michael Dell, the head of Dell Technologies, has been discussing Bitcoin (BTC) with greater frequency than before.

Is Dell Pivoting Towards Bitcoin?

In a recent social media post, Dell posed a query to his audience using a poll, asking them to identify which of four options held greater significance for them. Among these alternatives were Artificial Intelligence (AI), Bitcoin, Love, and relationships. The poll also provided an option for those who felt none of the above applied to them.

From my perspective as an analyst, it’s intriguing to note that Bitcoin garnered the most votes in the poll with a significant 43% share of the total 61,489 votes cast. This strong showing is a testament to the immense enthusiasm and interest among Dell’s followers and other individuals towards cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin.

The most important thing

As an analyst, I would interpret the inclusion of Bitcoin in Dell’s investment options as a clear sign of the company’s growing interest in this digital asset. This development follows closely on the heels of MicroStrategy’s founder, Michael Saylor, attempting to persuade business leaders about Bitcoin’s potential merits.

Approximately a week ago, Dell took to Twitter to discuss the concept of scarcity. This post sparked a reaction from Saylor, who highlighted Bitcoin as the epitome of “digital scarcity.” Later on, Saylor’s comment was re-shared by Dell, accompanied by a humorous meme depicting Cookie Monster from Sesame Street and Bitcoin.

As a crypto investor, I’ve noticed that Dell’s recent X post on social media has added fuel to the ongoing debate among us about his potential deeper involvement with digital currencies. His comment hinted at a possible alignment with the concept of Bitcoin as a valuable asset due to its scarcity. Although his tone was lighthearted, it certainly piqued my curiosity and that of many other crypto enthusiasts about Dell’s fresh perspective on this exciting space.

Institutional Investors Adopt Bitcoin Strategy 

Notable is the trend among some institutional investors towards integrating Bitcoin into their strategies. As early as 2014, Dell Technologies implemented Bitcoin as a valid payment method.

In 2017, low Bitcoin demand led Dell Technologies to halt accepting Bitcoins. Contrastingly, the digital asset market experienced a surge in Bitcoin demand since then. This resurgence could potentially encourage Dell Technologies to reconsider investing in Bitcoin once more.

“MicroStrategy is one of several businesses successfully implementing a Bitcoin strategy. They recently purchased 11,931 Bitcoins at around $65,883 each, bringing their total holdings to 226,331 Bitcoins. These were acquired at an average price of $36,798 per BTC, amounting to roughly $8.33 billion.”
