The CEO of publicly traded MicroStrategy (MSTR) shares why he started to feel like he was “sitting on a 500-lb block of ice” and how he came to bitcoin as a solution.
This episode is sponsored by Crypto.com, Bitstamp and Nexo.io.
MicroStrategy made waves when it announced in early August it was moving $500,000,000 in treasury reserves out of cash. At least $250 million were to be moved into bitcoin. 
Earlier this week, the company announced its final bitcoin purchases totaled $425 million. 
In this conversation with NLW, MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor explains:

Why he’s always treated the company with a long time horizon

Why the asset inflation rate is the real inflation rate

How he became convinced that bitcoin is the best treasury asset in the world 

Why Michael believes some other companies will follow suit, but better do so quick

Why the intensity of maximalists is actually part of the reason he grew conviction around the asset 

Why he would buy every bitcoin if he could
