Bitcoin bull Michael Saylor is given to making bold pronouncements, and his latest is no exception.
The MicroStrategy co-founder plans to follow in the footsteps of Satoshi Nakamoto by “leaving whatever I’ve got to the civilization,” just as the pseudonymous Bitcoin creator “left a million Bitcoin to the universe.”
It’s quite an endowment; Saylor personally holds 17,732 BTC, worth just shy of $1.2 billion at Bitcoin’s current price.
His own holdings are dwarfed by those of MicroStrategy, though. Thanks to Saylor’s aggressive Bitcoin purchasing strategy, the company is the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, with over 252,000 BTC, worth around $16 billion, in its coffers, and plans to become a “Bitcoin bank” with a trillion-dollar valuation.
