Saylor’s Bitcoin Gamble: Is This Insanity or Genius? 🧐

by

Well, I’ll be hornswoggled! That Michael Saylor, bless his ambitious soul, is a-wagglin’ his finger and signalin’ another plunge into the Bitcoin waters. Seems Strategy, his little enterprise, has already accumulated a pile of the stuff worth a king’s ransom – over $71 billion, if you can believe such a thing! A fella could buy a whole state with that kinda money, and still have enough left over for a decent cigar.

They done bought up 4,225 more of them Bitcoin critters just the other day for $472.5 million. That brings their total hoard to 601,550 BTC. Now, I ain’t much of a mathematician, but even *I* can see that adds up to a pretty penny. More than a pretty penny, actually. It’s downright scandalous!

And get this – they’re up a good 66.5% on their investment. That’s over $28.5 billion in gains they ain’t even *seen* yet. Unrealized, they call it. Sounds a mite like wishful thinkin’ to me, but who am I to judge a man makin’ money hand over fist?

Seems these “Bitcoin treasury companies” – a fancy name for folks who just collect the stuff – are keepin’ the price a-floatin’. Along with them ETFs and all the fancy Wall Street types. Honestly, it’s a wonder the whole shebang don’t just collapse under its own weight!

Strategy’s valuation surges alongside $4 trillion total crypto market cap

Now, Strategy’s stock itself has been dancin’ a jig, jumpin’ up 21.52% in the last month. That makes their total worth over $118 billion! Seems the whole world is caught up in this digital gold rush. I reckon folks are just lookin’ for a new way to lose their shirts, personally. 😉

This whole kerfuffle’s happenin’ while the entire crypto market is swellin’ up to over $4 trillion. And Bitcoin itself? Why, it hit a new high, naturally. Folks are chasin’ this thing like a hound dog after a rabbit, I tell ya.

Back in December of ’24, Strategy waltzed right into the Nasdaq 100. Fancy that! Seems the big boys are startin’ to take notice, even if they don’t quite understand what all the fuss is about.

You see, some of these fellas with the big pocketbooks can’t actually *hold* Bitcoin directly. Rules and regulations, you know. So, they buy shares in companies like Strategy, hopin’ to get a piece of the action. It’s a roundabout way to gamble, if you ask me. 🤠

As that fella, Alden, put it, some portfolio managers can only buy stocks. Can’t touch bonds, ETFs, or even a good ol’ commodity. Seems a right pickle, don’t it?

Even Vanguard, those tight-fisted fellas, are holdin’ 20 million shares of Strategy. That’s about 8% of the whole shebang! They won’t touch Bitcoin directly, but they’re perfectly happy to profit from it indirectly. Hypocrites, I say! 😜

So there you have it. Bitcoin, slowly but surely, wormin’ its way into the respectable world of finance. Whether it’ll be a boon or a bust remains to be seen. But one thing’s for sure: it’s a mighty curious spectacle to behold.
