Bitcoin BTC/USD is the driving factor for Strategy's MSTR turnaround from $6 to $400 in five years only, according to executive chairman Michael Saylor.
What Happened: Speaking at the Bitcoin for Corporations 2025 conference, Saylor delivered a compelling case for Bitcoin adoption, especially for companies outside the elite tier of U.S. tech giants.
"Bitcoin is for the rest of us, it's for the 96%," Saylor stated, noting that only a small fraction of public companies consistently create value for shareholders.
The remaining majority are left competing in a structurally unfavorable environment dominated by the "Magnificent Seven" —Apple, Google, Microsoft, and other tech titans.
Saylor shared data showing that, 85% of U.S.-listed firms underperform the S&P 500, 75% trade under $10 million in daily volume and 96% deliver returns comparable to Treasury bills.
In his view, Bitcoin offers a solution: a non-dilutive, high-performing asset that levels the financial playing field.

Why It Matters: Saylor positioned Bitcoin as “digital capital,” pairing it with AI's "digital intelligence" to create a strategic edge.
He cited Strategy's transformation from a struggling software firm trading at $6 in 2020 to a market darling nearing $400 per share, as proof of concept.
Since adopting a Bitcoin-centric treasury model, the company has raised $37.5 billion, starting from an initial $250 million BTC allocation.
Instead of returning capital through dividends or buybacks, MicroStrategy attracts capital by offering indirect exposure to Bitcoin.
Saylor described Bitcoin as a "universal, perpetual, profitable merger partner" that any company can integrate.
For those interested, he announced that MicroStrategy has open-sourced its Bitcoin24 treasury model on GitHub, offering a practical toolkit for businesses exploring BTC strategies.
He ended with a challenge to corporate leaders: "Does your company have a need to know? What will your Bitcoin story be?"
