Michael Saylor Shares his Bitcoin Playbook To Compete With Magnificent Seven Companies
Bitcoin has shown an exemplary resurgence recording 70% gains since the beginning of 2023 and moving to $35,000. MicroStrategy, the world’s largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, has started minting big profits on its Bitcoin holdings, which stands at an average price of under $30,000.
Michael Saylor Shares His Bitcoin Playbook
During his recent interview with Fox Business, Saylor said that in order to compete with the magnificent seven companies should ditch the conventional corporate playbook, and adopt the Bitcoin playbook to preserve their capital.
The Magnificent Seven companies are responsible for the majority of the S&P 500’s impressive nearly 13% year-to-date increase.
These prominent companies comprise Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet (GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), Nvidia (NVDA), Meta Platforms (META), and Tesla (TSLA). Of these, only Tesla holds Bitcoins on its balance sheet. Also, as per the recent quarterly filings, the company continues to hold its Bitcoins with no change.
Amid the Bitcoin price rally in 2023, the MicroStrategy stock (MSTR) has also delivered a staggering 213% year to date, beating all the magnificent seven companies. In fact, MSTR has given 3-4 times the returns that all these seven companies have given.
Saylor said that most companies have been facing the heat of inflation, high-interest rates, and technology-driven deflation. Thus, he adds that by adopting a Bitcoin strategy similar to MicroStrategy, companies would be able to reward shareholders in a better way.
