MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor said his company will not sell BTC for 100 years as Bitcoin is the best way to store value.
In mid-August, MicroStrategy announced the purchase of 21,454 BTC for $ 250 million, becoming the first US public company to invest a significant portion of its reserves in this digital asset. In an interview with Real Vision CEO Raoul Pal, Sailor said the decision to invest the large sum in Bitcoin was made in conjunction with the firm's board of directors, investors, auditor and executives.

DeFi yields/interest rates are clearly a vacuum sucking in a lot of stablecoins," Coinmetrics co-founder Nic Carter wrote on Twitter.The founders of the Gemini cryptocurrency exchange Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss believe that Bitcoin is much more reliable than gold, because there are huge reserves of this metal on asteroids.
Popular trader Dave Portnoy interviewed the Bitcoin billionaires of the Winklevoss, in which they stated that Elon Musk will someday mine gold from asteroids, so it is better to invest in Bitcoins. The value of Bitcoin and gold is in the limited supply of these assets, but if gold is mined in space, then its price will collapse.
Michael Sonnenshein, managing director of Grayscale Investments, believes that approving Bitcoin traded exchange traded funds (ETFs) is just a matter of time.
