MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor shared his optimistic outlook for Bitcoin following the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) approval of options on BlackRock's Bitcoin exchange-traded fund.
Saylor stressed that this approval will accelerate the institutional adoption of Bitcoin, highlighting the importance of this move for broader market participation.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) decision allows BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, which will trade under the ticker “IBIT,” to offer Bitcoin-based options on Nasdaq.

The announcement was officially posted on the SEC’s website, signaling a key development in the growing intersection between traditional finance and cryptocurrencies.
