Michael Saylor, executive chairman of Strategy, has been active in public appearances discussing Bitcoin's market position and his company's financial strategy. In October 2026 appearances, Saylor stated that Bitcoin was at the beginning of a new bull run after bouncing off its 200-week moving average, and he forecast that Bitcoin would return above $100,000 this cycle with 20–30% annual growth over the next two decades. He described Strategy as "the central bank of the crypto economy" and a "reserve institution" built on digital capital, digital credit, and digital equity. Saylor also discussed the company's Bitcoin holdings, which he said totaled approximately 845,000 to 848,250 Bitcoin worth $70–72 billion, and its issuance of preferred stock products such as STRC, which he described as asset-backed credit designed to provide yield while maintaining price stability. Saylor has also been critical of the Clarity Act, which he called a "bill of restrictions" of 630 pages, and he said its failure to pass was beneficial for the industry. He has advocated for what he described as "enlightened, flexible rules" for digital assets and emphasized the importance of creating "magic products" to ensure durability of the crypto industry regardless of political changes. In September 2026, Strategy proposed amending its preferred stocks to pay daily dividends, a move Saylor said would increase cash flow frequency, dampen volatility, and improve liquidity. He has also discussed plans for tokenization, digital money products, and the role of AI in Bitcoin's future, while describing the period through 2035 as a "gold rush" for digital assets.

“The way to think about capital allocation is if you need your money back, all of your principle back in the next four months, you probably just want to put it in a money market, right? because it's very stable nav.

“The headwinds for Bitcoin for the past year have been restrictive foreign policy, restrictive trade policy, restrictive monetary policy, and a massive gravitational field which has been sucking capital into the AI trade, a trillion dollars of capital flow.

“The big innovation for our company is a public company that creates its own reserve bank, okay? A private central bank. We are the central bank of the crypto economy. A public company can do it. The second big innovation is creating a digital asset that is capital, that is a commodity. Now, it turns out that the king of all commodities before digital assets was gold, because gold was the scarcest, and so the entire w”

“We learned along the way that the marketplace really values US dollars duration more than Bitcoin. Like it would rather see us have three years of dollars than 30 years of Bitcoin. And so there are diminishing returns. The difference between 10 years of Bitcoin and 100 years of Bitcoin is diminishing. Maybe it's not even relevant. It may not be material. The difference between having 10 months or five months of cash ”

“The headwinds are restrictive trade policy, restrictive foreign policy, restrictive monetary policy. We've struggled with all three of those over the past year. And then the AI bubble or a trillion dollars of gravitational pull, a contention for capital, and the AI buildout. Those are the things that are serving as headwinds for the asset class. Bitcoin is pure capital. So anything that's bad for the capital markets,”
