Michael Saylor clarified MicroStrategy’s vision with its Bitcoin adoption plan and confirmed the company aims to become a Bitcoin Bank.

In a latest interview with analysts at research and brokerage firm Bernstein, the founder and former CEO of MicroStrategy, Michael Saylor, said that MicroStrategy’s main vision is to become a leading Bitcoin bank.

Saylor explained that the ultimate goal is for the company to become a leading Bitcoin finance firm, potentially reaching $100-$150 billion in Bitcoin through various financial instruments like debt and stock.

He suggested that by trading at a premium, the company could grow to be worth $300-$400 billion. As Bitcoin’s value increases to millions per coin, Saylor envisions building a trillion-dollar company by continually acquiring more Bitcoin and expanding into various financial markets.

Furthermore, he added that the Nasdaq-listed Bitcoin bull firm aims to create Bitcoin capital market instruments covering stocks, convertible stocks, fixed income, and preferred stocks, providing powerful tools for inflation hedging and long-term value storage.

In 2022, Saylor stepped down from the company’s CEO position and decided to contribute his full time to the company’s Bitcoin-related projects.

In the past, Saylor shared ideas of using the company’s Bitcoin balance for other ventures or starting new Bitcoin-related services, but no further developments have been made public regarding these ideas.
