“The volatility [of Bitcoin] creates tens of billions of dollars of credit and liquidity at all times everywhere, to everyone in the world, in the short term,” Saylor said. Moreover, he noted that the long-term volatility drives, “superior asset performance and durability.”

That superiority has led to his all-around embrace of it. Not only does Saylor himself own massive holdings, his company currently holds more than 214,000 BTC. At a total cost of more than $7.4 billion, their strategy has allowed them to buy one Bitcoin at an average of just over $35,100.
