Michael Saylor is the only man on Earth who found a legal way to "print" Bitcoin.
How it started: - be a legacy tech CEO - August 2020 - adopts the Bitcoin Standard - buys 21,454 BTC - world calls him "crazy" - he calls it "rational"
The Protocol of Infinite Leverage: - convert debt into digital gold - issue convertible notes at 0% interest - use the proceeds to buy more $BTC - repeat until the supply dries up - never sell
2020–2023: The conviction phase - market crashes to $16k - MSTR goes deep into the red - critics start screaming "liquidation" - Saylor buys the dip anyway
2024: The Wall Street pivot - spot ETFs launch - institutional floodgates open - stock starts trading at a premium to NAV
2025: The expansion phase - raised $42 billion over 3 years - $STRC integration - the "Infinite Money Loop" is perfected
January 12, 2026: - 13,627 BTC acquired - $1.25 billion spent - average price: $91,519 - institutional FOMO has now officially started.
The Current Holdings: - 687,410 $BTC total stash - $51.80 billion invested - average cost: $75,353 - $11B+ in unrealized profit - still buying at $90k+
