Michael Saylor and his company, Strategy, are known as crypto whales, consistently buying and selling Bitcoin in massive amounts. However, Saylor's story is fascinating, as he actually bought Bitcoin without using his own or company's funds. So, Saylor simply leveraged his intelligence, passion, strong will, and recklessness, or speculation.
So, How Does It Work?
Michael Saylor, through his company, Strategy, issues zero-coupon convertible notes, meaning Strategy only pays principal and interest at maturity. This type of bond can also be exchanged for shares. Furthermore, Strategy often issues preferred stock. This allows Strategy to secure substantial funding for its Bitcoin purchases.
Strategy maintains investor confidence by creating a Bitcoin per share metric and also providing Bitcoin Yield, which measures the growth rate of Bitcoin per share.
From my research on Google, Strategy currently owns over 638,470 BTC with an average purchase price of $74,000, and the current Bitcoin price is $112,000.
