Bitcoin is the leading investment for MacroStrategy, a division of software company, MicroStrategy. Michael Saylor, who heads up this firm, has always been a BTC maximalist. Saylor has both a personal and institutional stake in the digital asset. MacroStrategy has continued to up its investment in the digital asset since it first started investing. So has its CEO, Michael Saylor.

Saylor has never been shy about expressing his support for BTC. The CEO regularly talks about the asset on his Twitter page. Usually encouraging people to consider investing in the digital asset. Now, Saylor has taken to his Twitter account once again to show support for the digital asset.

Talking about what is the best store of wealth presently, Saylor had previously put out a poll to his followers on the platform. The options in the poll ranged from well-known modes of investments, alongside BTC. The poll came out in the overwhelming majority for the pioneer cryptocurrency.

Following the completion of the poll, Saylor posted a reply to the poll. According to Saylor, bitcoin still remains the safest bet to invest in. The CEO called inflation a safe be. Then said that bitcoin was a safe haven.

This mostly points to BTC being proposed countless times by investors in the market. The year over year of returns on BTC has far exceeded the growing inflation rate of the U.S. dollar. Hence being a comfortable hedge against inflation. While simultaneously returning profits for the investors.

BTC has far outperformed both the S&P, NASDAQ, and gold in its short time being live. U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis had earlier in the year proposed bitcoin as a way to fight against growing inflation by backing up the U.S. dollar with BTC.

MacroStrategy’s Bitcoin Investment

At the time of this writing, Saylor’s firm MacroStrategy owns over 100,000 BTC. Amounting to over $5 billion in value. The cost basis for these coins is $2.9 billion. This shows that MacroStrategy has seen 1.8x returns on their initial investments in BTC, according to this report from Bitcoin Treasuries.

Another not well-known fact about MicroStrategy is the fact that its board of directors is paid in bitcoin. CEO Michael Saylor believes that bitcoin will be the most disruptive technology of our lifetime. Thus, has made his firm revolve around the digital asset.
