Saylor’s Gamble: A Billion-Dollar Bet 🤯

by

The frost settles on the windowpanes, and the scent of desperation hangs heavy in the air…or perhaps it’s just the stale coffee clinging to my coat. But mark my words, citizens, something peculiar is afoot. Michael Saylor, that titan of digital dreams, has once again thrown a king’s ransom – a staggering 962 million dollars’ worth – into the maw of Bitcoin, even as the specter of MSCI exclusion looms like a debt collector at dawn. A curious thing, wouldn’t you agree? 🤔

Ten thousand, six hundred and twenty-four Bitcoins. Enough to feed a small nation, or at least, keep a few blockchain enthusiasts comfortably numb. Ninety thousand, six hundred dollars apiece…a price that would make a Tsarist nobleman blush. The so-called “orange dots,” Saylor’s usual fanfare, heralded the purchase, but even the initiated were surprised by the sheer vulgarity of the sum.

The gamblers on those prediction markets, those cold-blooded calculators of chance, only gave it a 26

This hefty acquisition swells Saylor’s digital hoard to a princely 660,624 BTC. A mountain of code, a fortress built on the shifting sands of speculation. But the question gnaws at me: is this strength, or a desperate attempt to bolster a crumbling façade?

They whisper of potential sell-offs, of the dreaded mNAV dipping below the sacred number one. But can a man who has staked his entire reputation on Bitcoin truly consider abandoning ship? It seems as likely as a bear embracing a banker. Yet, they say even the most resolute can be broken by the weight of debt…

Saylor, they say, beseeched the MSCI committee, offering assurances and promises. A sight to behold – a titan on his knees, begging for acceptance. But the committee, like a stern father, remains unmoved. They demand discipline, predictability…qualities Saylor has consistently eschewed.

The odds of a desperate Bitcoin fire sale, mercifully, remain low. Below 10

But beware, comrades! The slightest tremor, a mere ripple in the market, could send Saylor’s empire tumbling. As Lebowitz wisely warns, even the sale of three Bitcoins could shatter the illusion. “After everything Michael Saylor has said about he’s never selling a dime…” he muses, a tragic foreshadowing of doom. 😱

“If there’s a headline that says Strategy sold, even if it’s three Bitcoin, I think after everything Michael Saylor has said about he’s never selling a dime, people are going to start to question the whole Bitcoin trade.”

Final Thoughts

  • Saylor’s audacious purchase provides a fleeting moment of hope, a desperate attempt to ward off the MSCI specter.
  • The danger is not yet passed, and while a sell-off remains unlikely, the slightest hint of weakness could unleash a torrent of panic.
