MicroStrategy Confident in Bitcoin Strategy Despite Potential ETF Approvals

MicroStrategy co-founder Michael Saylor is confident that his company will remain an attractive option for investors looking to gain exposure to Bitcoin, even if a spot Bitcoin ETF is approved in the future. Saylor stated that MicroStrategy will continue to add more Bitcoin to its balance sheet, potentially using the proceeds from a planned $750 million share sale.

He believes that MicroStrategy's operating strategy, which includes leveraged investments to generate yields for shareholders, sets it apart from a spot Bitcoin ETF. However, Saylor also sees the potential for spot Bitcoin ETFs to bring in large hedge funds and sovereigns, ultimately benefiting the entire asset class.

  • Uniswap founder: Founders and VCs need to stop valuing startups and pre-coin crypto projects at more than $1 billion

    Uniswap founder Hayden Adams posted on social media that cryptocurrency founders and venture capitalists need to stop valuing projects at over $1 billion in the early stages of development and before tokens have been released, until they are truly worth that valuation. Building something worth 7-9 figures is an incredible achievement, and not every project needs to be a unicorn at launch. Additionally, Hayden Adams said, perhaps it's naive, but I think raising funds as a founder at a fair valuation (real talent wants upside) and investing at a fair valuation as a VC (LPs want upside) can make more money. It's just harder to do it that way.
