How Michael Saylor and Bitcoin’s 17-Year-Old Secret Still Bring In Big Bucks! 💸

by

Ah, Michael Saylor, the man with a strategy that even the cryptic ghosts of old school financiers can’t quite comprehend. On this most cryptic of days, the Bitcoin white paper, that monumental nine-page document authored by the elusive Satoshi Nakamoto, turned a sprightly 17 years old! 🕰️ And who else to lead the celebrations but none other than Saylor, the chairman of Strategy, a company that eats Bitcoin for breakfast and burps out innovation?

It was a cold and fateful day back on October 31, 2008, when the Satoshi figure, still more mysterious than the identity of the Wizard of Oz, dropped the Bitcoin white paper on the cryptography mailing list. A mere 12 sections packed with grandiose visions and promises, laying the groundwork for an invention that would shake the very foundations of the financial world-and make Saylor richer than the average tech billionaire.

Fast forward to today, and it seems like the crypto world has aged like fine wine, or maybe more like a robust vodka-smooth but with a kick. To mark the occasion, Strategy tweeted: “17 years ago, at 2:10 pm EDT, Satoshi Nakamoto started a fire in cyberspace. Happy Bitcoin Whitepaper Day!” A true moment for the digital history books. 🔥💻

And, naturally, Saylor couldn’t resist the urge to add a touch of reverence. With all the subtlety of a man celebrating a fortune he has yet to fully comprehend, he tweeted: “Thank You, Satoshi.” Because why not thank the man-or whoever they are-for creating a system that has made Saylor’s wallet so bloated it might need a diet soon?

Thank You, Satoshi.

Now, as the white paper celebrates its 17th anniversary, let’s step back and marvel at the sheer simplicity that has rocked the world. Satoshi, in their infinite wisdom, proposed that anyone, yes, anyone, should be able to send value across a digital network without the pesky interference of a central authority. Before this, the concept seemed as distant as a flying car. But now? Well, we can send crypto to our cats and dogs if we really wanted to (but we won’t… or will we?).

Strategy Rakes in a Bitcoin Windfall 💰

Now, as if the crypto gods were in perfect alignment, the very anniversary of the Bitcoin white paper coincided with the release of Strategy’s Q3 financial results for 2025. What a fortuitous event! 🤑

Michael Saylor, the man who’s turned Bitcoin into more than just a digital asset, announced that Strategy now holds a whopping 640,808 BTC. That’s right, folks, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin is sitting on a treasure chest big enough to make a dragon jealous. This comes on the heels of raising $20 billion through its robust capital markets platform, further solidifying Saylor’s role as the digital-age pirate of crypto. Arrr!

And just to rub it in, Strategy announced a 26% BTC yield and a jaw-dropping $13 billion in gains. Let’s not forget their full-year guidance, which is looking at a clean $34 billion in operating income, $24 billion in net income, and a humble $20 billion in BTC gain, assuming Bitcoin finishes the year at a cool $150,000 per coin. But hey, what’s a billion here or there when you’re playing in the big leagues?
