Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman and Co-Founder of Strategy, delivered a powerful keynote at the Bitcoin 2025 Conference in Las Vegas, proclaiming Bitcoin as the ultimate form of capital and urging investors to adopt a courageous and uncompromising wealth-building strategy rooted in BTC accumulation.
In his talk titled “21 Ways to Wealth”, Saylor emphasized that Bitcoin represents “perfected, incorruptible, and programmable capital” in an age where traditional assets and fiat currencies are becoming increasingly unstable.
“Every thoughtful individual everywhere in the world is going to want perfected capital,” Saylor told a packed audience. “Your enemies will want incorruptible capital. All of the AIs will want programmable capital.”
Bitcoin Over Bonds, Real Estate, and Fiat
Saylor advised investors to reallocate their capital entirely into Bitcoin, framing it as a generational opportunity:
“Take your fiat currency, trade it for Bitcoin. Take your long-term capital, trade it for Bitcoin. Sell your bonds, sell your inferior equity, sell your inferior real estate property—buy Bitcoin.”
He stressed that Bitcoin is “engineered to outperform everything,” positioning it not just as a store of value but as a superior alternative to every traditional investment vehicle.
Equity as a Path to Wealth: Lessons from Metaplanet
Saylor also highlighted the power of equity-based strategies for companies seeking to build Bitcoin reserves and unlock exponential growth. He praised Metaplanet, a Japanese firm that has modeled its approach after Strategy:
“Metaplanet went from $10 million to a $5 billion market cap with the partnership of their equity investors.”
Metaplanet began its Bitcoin accumulation strategy in April 2024 and now holds approximately 7,800 BTC. Meanwhile, Strategy, already the largest corporate Bitcoin holder globally, recently added 4,020 BTC, bringing its total holdings to 580,250 BTC.
The Power of Compliance in Capital Deployment
Beyond Bitcoin evangelism, Saylor emphasized the value of compliance and corporate discipline in building a powerful, wealth-generating enterprise:
“You should create the best company you can within the rules of your market,” he stated. “Compliance may sound difficult, but it allows you to raise capital, invest in Bitcoin, and create wealth in a structured, scalable way.”
He encouraged entrepreneurs and companies to understand their regulatory environment, position themselves within legal frameworks, and then use the strength of their enterprise to invest in Bitcoin.
