Who is Michael Saylor?

Continuing from MicroStrategy CEO Believes There Will Be at Least One Billion Users Using Bitcoin by 2026:

Like everything with Bitcoin, Saylor started very well and then changed.

Saylor will create a Bitcoin bank, because custody is for paranoid anarchists:

Who is he and what did he do?

Saylor was a billionaire and then went bankrupt due to fraud, buying his own stocks to inflate the price. He pays a lot of taxes and makes sure others pay them.

This summarizes his current strategy:

And here are comments from alleged former employees, clients, or those who used his software. It has no value, every now and then his stock pumps and that’s all it does.

Some more data, I guess I’ll publish it on the blog someday :slight_smile:

And a story someone compared:

https://wk.criptonautas.co/wiki/Jueves_de_Plata

The Hunts lost over a billion dollars in this incident.

In 1988, the brothers were found liable on civil charges of conspiring to corner the silver market. They were ordered to pay $134 million in restitution to a Peruvian mining company that had lost money as a result of their actions.

This forced the brothers to declare bankruptcy, in one of the largest such filings in Texas history.

CEO Sells Microstrategy

This month, MicroStrategy (MSTR) director Carl Rickertsen sold all of his shares for just over $10 million.

Rickertsen has not made any MSTR purchases this year that met Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reporting requirements, and has only traded in one direction, decidedly bearish.

However, he has bought MSTR shares in previous years. In fact, in 2022 he invested $700,000 in the company.

MicroStrategy’s Japanese rival, MetaPlanet, has outperformed Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin (BTC) acquisition company by 317% year-to-date.

Since January 1, 2025, MicroStrategy has appreciated 27%, while MetaPlanet has appreciated 430%.

Assuming an equal investment of $1,000 in both companies at the beginning of the year, MetaPlanet’s position would be 317% larger today: $5,300 versus MicroStrategy’s $1,270.

While both companies have announced plans to pay dividends to preferred shareholders, neither pays them to common shareholders.

Therefore, it is appropriate to compare performance based solely on share price.

Continuing from MicroStrategy CEO Believes There Will Be at Least One Billion Bitcoin Users by 2026:

As of July 2025, there are only ~400,000 humans using Bitcoin daily. According to Sylor’s calculations, Bitcoin should receive 10 times its total amount in half a year.

On 08/25/25, Sylor announced that they sold 875,301 MSTR (MicroStrategy) stocks, which was prohibited in the company’s original filing.

The original promise was clear: “We will not issue MSTR below 2.5X mNAV, except to pay interest and dividends.”

The phrase was removed on August 18. And as of the 25th, the enterprise value mNAV of $MSTR is 1.59X.

This is in addition to the sale by the company director, who sold USD 10 million that he had purchased in 2022.

He sold half in 2023 and the last half in July 2025.
