On November 15th, COINOTAG reported insights from Michael Saylor, the founder of MicroStrategy, who emphasized the historical context of the United States engaging in strategic asset acquisitions. Saylor referenced noteworthy transactions like the acquisition of Manhattan and the Louisiana Purchase, alongside the annexations of California and Alaska during the 19th century, all of which significantly enriched the nation. Additionally, he highlighted key assets acquired throughout U.S. history, including gold, oil, grains, and helium.
Saylor articulated a perspective on Bitcoin, describing it as the embodiment of America’s “Manifest Destiny.” He suggested that similar to past strategies of identifying undervalued assets, the U.S. could benefit from creating a formal Bitcoin reserve. He posited that this notion has gained traction among political leaders, indicating that the establishment of a governmental Bitcoin strategy is increasingly plausible.
