MicroStrategy raises $37.5 billion with Bitcoin! Michael Saylor: BTC is the strongest asset of the century, far surpassing gold, stocks, and real estate.

MicroStrategy (Strategy) founder Michael Saylor delivered a speech at the 2025 Bitcoin Enterprise Application Forum on May 6, reiterating that Bitcoin (BTC) is not just a hedge tool, but a new "digital capital standard." He pointed out that nearly 96% of publicly listed companies perform worse than U.S. Treasury bonds, and if enterprises wish to break through, they must embrace assets like Bitcoin that can withstand the test of time. He emphasized that BTC not only surpasses gold, stocks, and real estate but also possesses a century-long potential for value preservation, making it suitable as the core of corporate asset allocation.

Is the listed company winning big? In fact, 96% of businesses are struggling to survive.

Saylor opened by naming:

頻果 (Apple)

Amazon (Amazon)

Microsoft (Microsoft)

谷歌 (Google)

Meta

Nvidia (

Tesla )Tesla(

The seven tech giants, )Magnificant 7(, have plundered the market and crushed their peers, with a growth rate of about 4,600% over the past 10 years, while the S&P 500 index has only increased by 200% in the same period.

"In this era, only digital monopoly enterprises can truly create capital appreciation, while the other 96% of companies are just struggling." He emphasized.

Saylor claims that well-known companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Google are plundering the market, which is flooded with a bunch of zombie companies that no one cares about and no one trades.

Saylor also pointed out that there are many "zombie companies" that have no investment appeal at all. He cited an example:

85% of listed companies have a daily trading volume of less than 10 million USD.

Only 8% have options markets.

Only 4% of stocks in the overall market create real value.

Avoiding volatility learned in business school is actually committing suicide.

Saylor also asked the audience: "Do you want to learn investment from the world's richest person, or from school textbooks?"

He listed the commonalities among world billionaires such as Musk, Zuckerberg, and Bezos: "Every asset skyrocketer embraces volatility."

"However, most companies' strategy is to desperately reduce volatility, which ultimately stifles growth," he pointed out.

AI is consensus, Bitcoin is the opportunity for non-consensus.

Saylor acknowledges that AI is a necessary condition, but he emphasizes that AI is a consensus tool; if everyone uses AI, it cannot bring excess returns.

"And digital capital like Bitcoin is the true disruptive innovation, as very few companies currently understand that this is a financial weapon," he emphasized.

Bitcoin is at the top of the asset pyramid, capable of maintaining its value for nearly 100 years.

Saylor divides currencies into:

High Frequency: Trading Use

Low frequency: capital preservation

"Compared to real estate, gold, and stocks, Bitcoin is one of the few assets that can be used to preserve value for 10 to 100 years," he emphasized.

Saylor stated that the value of Bitcoin has reached the top of the asset pyramid. MicroStrategy has turned around by merging with Bitcoin, raising $37.5 billion.

Saylor stated that before 2020, MicroStrategy still had a cash flow of 75 million dollars per year, but its market value was largely ignored.

He thought to himself, why not merge with Bitcoin, so he bought BTC with 250 million dollars, and later continuously expanded his position, attracting nearly 37.5 billion dollars in external funds today.

The traditional capital market is a "closed aristocratic game," and Bitcoin is the capital key to liberating enterprises.

Saylor pointed out that the SEC ) has restricted companies from holding stocks of other companies since 1933, blocking the way for businesses to "nourish capital with capital."

But Bitcoin is the only capital asset that does not require approval and can be freely owned.

Advice to Microsoft is also advice to businesses around the world.

"If Microsoft converts dividends, treasury stocks and some bonds into BTC, it will create up to $584 more in value per share." He uses Microsoft (Microsoft) as an example to simulate the analysis.

However, in the actual voting, 99% of Microsoft shareholders voted against researching Bitcoin financial strategies, simply because "they don't lack money."

Embracing Bitcoin is the way for global companies to save themselves.

Saylor finally posed a key question to the audience present:

"Bitcoin knowledge belongs only to those who have an urgent need for it. Is your business ready to start understanding it?"

Saylor also called on global enterprises at the end of his speech to embrace Bitcoin, as it is the right thing to do.

In summary, Saylor has been calling on global enterprises to recognize that the rules of the capital market are undergoing a significant change, and Bitcoin (BTC) will be a key weapon for corporate survival and growth.
