Michael Saylor has capitalized on the turbulent Bitcoin market by making one of the most decisive corporate decisions in this cycle. In a recent interview with CNBC, the Strategy executive chairman revealed that his company intends to purchase Bitcoin every quarter regardless of short-term price fluctuations.
Saylor views Bitcoin as a form of digital capital engineered for greater volatility and superior long-term returns compared to traditional assets like gold, stocks, or real estate. Temporary price drops do not affect investors who plan their capital allocation over multiple years, such as himself; therefore, fears about forced liquidation are unfounded—even if Bitcoin were to plunge 90% or drop to $8,000 per coin.
“I don't believe it will ever hit zero”
During his latest appearance on CNBC’s Squawk Box, Michael Saylor remained steadfast and unwavering in his stance on Bitcoin. He officially confirmed that Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) will continue buying Bitcoin quarterly without any plans to stop.
Saylor described Bitcoin as digital capital designed for high volatility but also capable of outperforming traditional investments over extended periods. To him, this volatility is not a drawback but rather an essential characteristic that enables Bitcoin to surpass gold, equities, and real estate in performance over time.

Despite cryptocurrency prices being down roughly 50% from their October highs at the time of speaking, Saylor expressed no concern about prolonged downturns forcing asset liquidations. Even if there was a drastic decline—say 90%, bringing BTC down to around $8K—the company would hold firm with its massive stash of approximately 714,644 Bitcoins.
Saylor emphasized that Strategy possesses several years’ worth of cash reserves along with decades-long value tied to its bitcoin holdings relative to dividend commitments. Despite recent market turbulence spanning late 2025 into early 2026 period refinancing remains viable while forced selling would only become relevant when absolutely necessary. According to his calculations,the company’s leverage ratio remains comfortably below typical investment-grade thresholds.
