Michael Saylor’s legendary Bitcoin bet has now turned five years old.
Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) announced that it had adopted Bitcoin as its primary treasury reserve asset on Aug. 11.
At press time, some Bitcoiners in various time zones are already celebrating Strategy’s big anniversary.
Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich has already taken to X to underscore the significance of Saylor’s grand Bitcoin bet.
“It cannot be underestimated what a positive impact Michael Saylor and the Strategy team have had on corporate Bitcoin adoption worldwide, including inspiring our own journey,” he said.
Corporate adoption “has only begun”
Gerovich, whose company followed Saylor’s lead last year, claims that the Bitcoin era for corporations “has only begun.”
Meanwhile, Saylor recently took to X to hint at yet another Bitcoin purchase.
