Michael Saylor still believes in Bitcoin
The current bear market has been one of the toughest for investors within the crypto space, but most notable Bitcoin proponents like Michael Saylor still show unwavering faith in Bitcoin.
Despite his software firm suffering an unrealised loss of over $1 billion due to the bear market, Michael Saylor still believes in Bitcoin. The American entrepreneur has now revealed the foundation on which his unwavering trust lies.
In his tweet, Saylor mentioned, “. . .it (MicroStrategy) anticipated volatility and structured its balance sheet so that it could continue to #HODL through adversity”. This shows that the firm has made preparations for these market conditions by having some backup collateral for when BTC dumps further as a strategy against liquidation.
