Bitcoin Continues to Succeed Against Fiat Money: Michael Saylor’s Insights
Bitcoin’s Ongoing Triumph over Fiat Money

Bitcoin Reclaims $67,000 Price Level
The world’s leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, surged past the $67,000 price mark on Friday before experiencing a minor pullback. However, it quickly rebounded and reclaimed this significant price level earlier today, showcasing its resilience and bullish momentum.
Bitcoin Emerges as a Preferred Store of Value
Bitcoin’s status as a store of value has gained widespread recognition, not only among Bitcoin enthusiasts like Saylor and Max Keiser but also among various financial institutions. The approval of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) by the SEC earlier this year has led to a substantial increase in Bitcoin’s demand, highlighting its growing acceptance in mainstream finance.
- ETFs approved by the SEC started trading in January, with 10 of them collectively acquiring around 10,000 BTC daily—far exceeding the daily production by miners.
- The ETFs’ aggressive accumulation created a demand shock, prompting both retail and institutional investors to diversify into digital assets.
In mid-April, Bitcoin experienced its fourth halving event, cutting the production of new BTC in half and triggering a supply shock, further bolstering its scarcity and value proposition in the market.
