Bitcoin bull Michael Saylor believes that the approval of a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) could be the most significant development on Wall Street in 30 years. Saylor compared it to the creation of the S&P index, which allowed investors to trade all 500 S&P companies at once. He explained that a spot Bitcoin ETF would provide mainstream retail and institutional investors with easier access to invest in Bitcoin, potentially driving up demand. Saylor also mentioned the upcoming Bitcoin halving event in April, which could cause a supply shock and further increase demand for the cryptocurrency.
Saylor confirmed that his company, MicroStrategy, will continue its Bitcoin investment strategy and aims to find ways to acquire more Bitcoin for its shareholders. MicroStrategy has already provided traditional investors with exposure to Bitcoin’s price and offers a high-performance vehicle for long-term Bitcoin investors. Currently, MicroStrategy owns 174,530 BTC, worth $7.3 billion.
Interestingly, Saylor was once a Bitcoin skeptic and predicted the downfall of the asset in a now-infamous tweet 10 years ago. However, he revised his position and extensively studied Bitcoin before convincing MicroStrategy’s board to add it to the company’s balance sheet.
Overall, Saylor’s optimism about the potential approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF and the future of Bitcoin suggests that 2024 could be a major bull run for the cryptocurrency.
