Michael Saylor Stays Loyal to Bitcoin Despite Market Crash
MicroStrategy Chairman Michael Saylor has reaffirmed his commitment to holding onto his Bitcoin investments amid the recent crash.
In a recent update on social media, Michael Saylor emphasized that he is steadfast in his Bitcoin investment strategy, even amid the current market downturn. Despite Bitcoin’s market capitalization dropping by over $200 billion in the past 24 hours, and reports suggesting a potential Fed rate cut, Saylor remains resolute in his support for the cryptocurrency.
This is the first time since February that Bitcoin has dipped below $50,000, losing its trillion-dollar valuation. Simultaneously, MicroStrategy’s stock has plunged by 16% today, extending its weekly losses to over 27%. Other publicly traded companies are experiencing similar declines alongside the broader crypto market collapse.

It remains to be seen whether Saylor will capitalize on the current dip to purchase more Bitcoin. Recently, he mentioned plans to raise an additional $2 billion to increase MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin holdings.
While Bitcoin has dropped by 18%, the price of spot gold has only decreased by less than 2%, trading around $2,394. Economist Peter Schiff has pointed out that gold and silver are currently better options in light of the US recession and stock market decline. He argues that Bitcoin’s high volatility makes it unsuitable as a reserve asset for major governments or central banks, contrasting it with gold’s relative stability.
