Michael Saylor: Bitcoin as a national asset for US Treasury could generate $81 trillion

by

As a seasoned crypto investor with a decade-long journey under my belt, I find myself increasingly intrigued by the strategic moves of MicroStrategy and its visionary founder, Michael Saylor. His proposal for establishing a Bitcoin reserve is nothing short of revolutionary, promising trillions in wealth for the U.S. Treasury while potentially neutralizing the national debt.

On Friday, the founder of MicroStrategy, Michael Saylor, put forth a plan for creating a strategic Bitcoin savings account.

As a researcher exploring potential financial strategies, I’ve come across a compelling idea: establishing a Bitcoin (BTC) reserve could potentially yield wealth for the U.S. Treasury ranging from $16 to $81 trillion. This could potentially provide a means to mitigate our nation’s debt burden. The proposal further predicts that the digital capital markets will expand significantly, growing from its current $2 trillion to an astonishing $280 trillion. If this growth materializes, U.S. investors would likely hold a substantial portion of this newfound wealth.

Developing a robust digital asset strategy has the potential to bolster the strength of the US dollar, counterbalance the national debt, and establish the U.S. as a dominant force in the 21st-century digital economy. This could stimulate countless businesses, spur economic expansion, and generate immense wealth.

As an analyst, I endorse a pragmatic approach towards compliance strategies. This encompasses standardized disclosure practices and self-regulatory compliance procedures spearheaded by industry leaders. Simultaneously, the goal is to decrease issuance expenses and broaden market reach, enabling access to over 40 million businesses, a substantial increase from the current 4,000 public companies.

It’s anticipated that the inclusion of MicroStrategy in the Nasdaq 100, taking the place of IT company Super Micro Computer, will stimulate purchasing actions from investment funds that track this index.

The company’s prosperity is evident in its strong market standing, as it trades at roughly twice the worth of its bitcoin reserves. This excess value enables MicroStrategy to keep on selling shares beyond their inherent value, thereby facilitating additional bitcoin acquisitions.

The latest events support the Bitcoin-centric approach that Saylor has been promoting. Since making the company’s initial crypto investments four years back, Saylor has emerged as a leading figure in the Bitcoin community.

Based on Saylortracker’s statistics, MicroStrategy currently owns approximately 439,000 Bitcoins, representing an estimated unrealized profit of around $16 billion. The latest Bitcoin acquisition by the company occurred on December 16, when they purchased 15,350 coins at a cost of $1.5 billion.

The Bitcoin strategy adopted by MicroStrategy has propelled the software firm into the prestigious Nasdaq 100 index. This move was made possible due to a significant increase in the company’s market value, which currently stands at around $88 billion, even though it holds approximately $43 billion worth of Bitcoin.

In the year 2024, MicroStrategy managed to secure approximately $20 billion from investors via both share offerings and convertible bonds. This year, the firm’s stock price has skyrocketed by more than 500%.
