Michael Saylor, the founder of MicroStrategy (now rebranded as Strategy), recently made waves with his comments on Bitcoin’s market decline.
As one of the most prominent institutional advocates for Bitcoin, Saylor humorously advised investors to hold onto their BTC, even jokingly suggesting, “Sell your kidney if necessary, but don’t sell your Bitcoins, keep them.”
In addition to his public encouragement for Bitcoin holders, Saylor has been actively involved in discussions about the creation of a U.S. Bitcoin reserve. He met with U.S. Representative French Hill to explore the potential of establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve.
According to Saylor, his conversation with the House Financial Services Committee was centered around how digital assets could help the U.S. take the lead in Bitcoin and crypto innovation.
Saylor emphasized that digital assets could revolutionize payment systems and open up new avenues for capital access.
He expressed optimism about the committee’s ongoing work toward developing a clear legal framework to propel the U.S. as the global leader in cryptocurrency, in alignment with former President Trump’s vision of making the country the world’s crypto capital.
After weeks of intense institutional activity that helped push Bitcoin above $100,000, inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took a breather between May 6 and May 12.
Bitcoin’s rapid recovery beyond $104,000 has sparked a wave of optimism in crypto circles, but the bigger question remains: is this just the beginning?
While Bitcoin’s price has recently rebounded, the enthusiasm for spot ETFs appears to be cooling. Weekly inflows into U.S. Bitcoin ETFs have dropped sharply, signaling a pause in aggressive institutional accumulation.
A wave of optimism swept through global markets as the United States and China took decisive steps to de-escalate their long-running trade dispute.
