Bitcoin Boom: MicroStrategy Co-Founder Unveils Jaw-Dropping Profit
The cryptocurrency market is abuzz with excitement as Michael Saylor, co-founder of MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:MSTR), reveals a staggering statistic: the company is raking in a whopping $500 million daily as Bitcoin inches closer to the $100,000 mark.
A $5.4 Billion Windfall
Saylor, a long-time Bitcoin enthusiast, shared the remarkable gains MicroStrategy has made in just two weeks, with its Bitcoin holdings appreciating by a staggering $5.4 billion. In an interview with CNBC, Saylor couldn’t contain his excitement, stating, “We’re making $500 million a day. I’m staring at my screen, and we’re selling dollar bills for $3, sometimes a million times a minute.”
Market Dominance
MicroStrategy’s stock has seen a phenomenal 97% gain in the last month, outpacing Bitcoin’s 47% increase. Year-to-date, MicroStrategy’s stock has surged over 515%, while Bitcoin prices have risen by 122%. Meanwhile, Nvidia, the AI bellwether and world’s most valuable company by market capitalization, has seen its stock rise by nearly 195% during this period.
A Bold Prediction
Saylor’s prediction that Bitcoin could reach $13 million by 2045 has sparked intense discussions about the potential economic implications, including massive hyperinflation. If realized, this would elevate Bitcoin’s market cap to a staggering $250 trillion, dwarfing the current world GDP and global stock markets.
A Valuation Disparity
Research from BitMEX suggests that MicroStrategy is trading at a 256% premium to the net asset value of its Bitcoin holdings, driven by its aggressive acquisition strategy. This premium may be influenced by financial regulations restricting Bitcoin ETF purchases, pushing investors towards MicroStrategy for exposure.
A Missed Opportunity?
Saylor has criticized Warren Buffett’s decision to hold $325 billion in cash at Berkshire Hathaway, arguing that not investing in Bitcoin is a missed opportunity. As the cryptocurrency market continues to soar, it remains to be seen if Buffett will reconsider his stance.
