Saylor: We Don't Want All of Bitcoin

  • Bitcoin treasury movement is "exploding"
  • Strategy's IPO spree During a Friday appearance on CNBC's "Squawk Box," former MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor stressed that Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) would not want to own all of Bitcoin. "We want everybody else to have their piece," Saylor added

At the same time, he opined that owning 3-7% of the entire Bitcoin supply would not be considered to be "too much."

"I don't think we'll get all of it. I don't think that...3-5% or 3-7% is too much," he stated.

Bitcoin treasury movement is "exploding"

The 60-year-old businessman has noted that there are 160 companies that are currently capitalizing on Bitcoin. "The Bitcoin treasury movement is exploding," Saylor remarked

Public companies currently hold a total of 955,048 Bitcoins, which is 4.55% of the total Bitcoin supply

According to Saylor, Bitcoin is "demonetizing" foreign real estate, private equity, public equity, and other sorts of store-of-value assets

Those who want to create shareholder value should allocate their reserves to tangible assets. While gold and real estate don't make sense, Bitcoin does, Saylor argues.

Tech giants are heavily restricted from buying the S&P 500 index or the stocks of other companies due to SEC rules, which is why behemoths like Apple stick to buying their own stock, Saylor says

"These companies, like Apple and Microsoft, if they could buy the S&P index, they'd be better off. It's against SEC rules. If the Mag 7 could buy each other's securities, they would be better off. That's against SEC rules," he explained

Strategy's IPO spree

Saylor has recalled that his company has pulled off four initial public offerings (IPOs) during the current year

Earlier this week, the Virginia-headquartered company wrapped up its "Stretch" (STRC) IPO, raising an impressive $2.52 billion

Saylor has told CNBC that "Stretch" is the company's "most exciting" product to date

Strategy takes a "pure digital capital asset" with a lot of volatility and "refines" it into securities that are accessible for professional investors
