Saylor on Bitcoin Stabilizing at $100,000
In one conversation with Alex Thorn, Head of Firmwide Research at Galaxy, Saylor noted:
“I think it’s an important milestone because if you get to the six-figure level, I think it sends the message to people that Bitcoin is here to stay.”
Explaining his position, Saylor explained that Bitcoin has evolved through several phases throughout its journey. For those unaware, initially BTC’s identity and viability were the subject of intense debate and uncertainty.
Then the Blocksize Wars further complicated its understanding, as different factions fought over its true purpose.
Between 2020 and 2024, the focus shifted to Bitcoin adoption by institutions, governments and traditional markets, while skepticism prevailed.
However, since November 5, BTC has risen remarkably, from $67,000 to over $100,000. This strengthened his position as an influential force in the financial world.
In an interview with CNBC, Saylor highlighted the impact of the 2024 US presidential election on Bitcoin’s future.
He stated,
“The 2024 election is the biggest thing to happen for Bitcoin in the last four years,”
Here he highlighted the role of the political environment in shaping Bitcoin’s trajectory.
Microstrategy’s Bitcoin Commitment
Additionally, Saylor’s company, MicroStrategy, has further strengthened its commitment to Bitcoin by making a significant move into the capital markets.

Recently, MicroStrategy made headlines by acquiring another 21,550 Bitcoins. This brings the total holdings to 423,650 BTC, worth $25.6 billion.
This strategic move underlines the company’s commitment to Bitcoin as a core asset. It positions MicroStrategy as a leader in digital currency adoption for long-term value.
Saylor on Bitcoin’s long-term potential
In a separate interview with Dave Portnoy, the founder of Barstool Sports, Saylor also addressed concerns about the rising price of Bitcoin.
Despite BTC reaching $100,000, Saylor dismissed the idea that it has become too expensive and emphasized his relentless focus on long-term investments regardless of short-term fluctuations.
Saylor emphasized:
“I’ll keep buying.”
He added:
“I’ll buy it for a million dollars a coin and I’ll probably buy it for a billion dollars a day for a million dollars a coin because that’s what I do.”
