At Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas, Michael Saylor delivered a keynote titled “21 Ways to Wealth,” declaring Bitcoin the world’s ultimate form of capital and urging investors to fully pivot away from fiat and traditional assets.
The case for Bitcoin as perfected capital
Saylor said:
Every thoughtful individual everywhere in the world is going to want perfected capital. Every one of your enemies is going to want incorruptible capital, and all of the AIs are going to want programmable capital.
Reallocating wealth into Bitcoin
Saylor encouraged attendees to reallocate all forms of wealth into Bitcoin.
He said:
Sell your bonds, trade them for Bitcoin. Sell your inferior equity, sell your inferior real estate property, buy Bitcoin. Bitcoin is engineered to outperform everything.
Equity and Bitcoin: A wealth-building strategy
The Strategy co-founder also emphasized equity as a key wealth-building tool, citing the success of Metaplanet—a Japanese firm that embraced a Bitcoin accumulation strategy in 2024.
With backing from equity investors, Metaplanet scaled from $10 million to a $5 billion market cap and now holds about 7,800 BTC.
Strategy’s continued Bitcoin accumulation
Strategy, already the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, added 4,020 BTC earlier this week, bringing its total to 580,250 BTC.
Importance of regulatory compliance
Saylor stressed the importance of regulatory compliance for firms investing in Bitcoin.
He said:
If you understand the rules of the road and the market you function in, you can create a special, very productive enterprise.
