Michael Saylor Says Bitcoin Is Settled and Ready to Rise

Interest around bitcoin continues to heat up again after a long stretch of uncertainty, and Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor sounds more confident than he has in months. A new conversation with host Grant Cardone on his YouTube channel with a reach of more than 3 million viewers, gave him room to share why he believes the market has already settled and why he expects brighter days ahead.

Saylor Sees Stability Returning to Bitcoin

During the interview, Cardone pressed Saylor on bitcoin’s next direction. Saylor pointed to fading forced selling and explained that he sees the market leveling out.  He said the sharp deleveraging waves from earlier months had run their course:

“Most of the liquidation selling is out of the system.”

Cardone then asked how low bitcoin could still fall. Saylor replied that he views the asset as holding firm near present ranges and expects a push upward from here. He described the recent weakness as the final washout phase.

Saylor also took a moment to separate traders from long-range investors. He said:

“If you make decisions with a 12-month or less time frame, you’re a trader… If you’re a trader, you know you’re a trader. I have zero advice for you. On the other hand, if you’re an entrepreneur or if you’re an investor, you should have a time frame of four years or longer, four to 10 years.”

The conversation drifted into Strategy’s long history with bitcoin. Saylor explained that the company turned to BTC in 2020, mostly due to collapsing yields on corporate cash. The firm held roughly 500 million dollars in reserves that, in his words, had been “reduced to zero” in real terms during the pandemic rate cuts.

He also revisited the early days of the position. Strategy bought bitcoin around 11800 dollars, only to watch it dip to roughly 9600 dollars soon after. He called that drop “instructive,” noting that bitcoin testing patience is normal and that ownership demands long-term conviction rather than expecting a quick reward.

Cardone asked what scenario would actually threaten Strategy’s holdings. Saylor responded that the company would only face material stress if bitcoin fell more than 90 percent from current levels, which he said is unrealistic. Even heavy selloffs, he insisted, would not push the firm to liquidate.

From Saylor’s point of view, bitcoin differs from other assets because he sees it as a technology-driven monetary network. Global demand, a fixed supply cap and broad liquidity make the asset more appealing to him than traditional treasury reserves. He argued that short-term swings are more about macro narratives than fundamentals, and that such noise does not change his overall thesis.

Saylor closed the discussion by repeating his belief that the cycle’s floor has already formed and that bitcoin is preparing for a new upward move. That outlook remains the backbone of Strategy’s accumulation plan.
