Michael Saylor, chairman of MicroStrategy and one of Bitcoin’s most outspoken corporate champions, has once again underscored his belief in the cryptocurrency’s long-term potential—this time with data to back it up.
In a post shared on May 24 via X, Saylor revealed updated performance metrics comparing top assets over the past three months and one year. The standout? His own company. MicroStrategy’s stock surged 31% in three months and 139% over the past year, outpacing even Bitcoin’s 58% annual gain. Other assets like Tesla, gold, and Meta followed, while giants like Apple and Google lagged behind or posted losses.
The outperformance is no coincidence. With over 576,000 BTC on its books, MicroStrategy functions as a high-leverage Bitcoin proxy. The company’s aggressive buying—often funded through debt—has tied its market valuation to Bitcoin’s movements, making MSTR a go-to choice for investors seeking amplified BTC exposure.
But Saylor’s message went beyond numbers. In recent interviews and social posts, he argued that buying Bitcoin—even at all-time highs—remains a smart long-term move. He pointed to historical four-year holding data showing consistent profitability, regardless of market timing. For Saylor, Bitcoin’s strength lies in its resilience against inflation and fiat currency decay.
He also warned of a coming shift: once banks and large institutions formally embrace Bitcoin, the window for everyday investors could close. As regulatory green lights emerge, Saylor predicts demand will surge—possibly outpacing supply and making BTC far less accessible to the public.
“Time in the market beats timing the market,” Saylor wrote, signaling that the best time to buy Bitcoin may always be now.
