Strategy’s Michael Saylor raps about how he gets shareholders to pay for bitcoin buys
Strategy has recently sold additional common stock to fund its Bitcoin purchases. Michael Saylor, the Executive Chair of the company, took to social media platform X to share a rap video explaining his approach. In the video, he discusses how he leverages what he calls an “equity ATM” to finance these investments, aiming to undermine those who have shorted the company's stock and bet against Bitcoin. Saylor's strategy involves using the capital raised from selling stock to buy more Bitcoin, which he believes will ultimately benefit shareholders. He emphasizes that this method is not just about acquiring Bitcoin but also about making a statement against skeptics and critics of both the company and the cryptocurrency market. The move aligns with Saylor's long-standing advocacy for Bitcoin as a valuable asset, positioning Strategy as a significant player in the cryptocurrency space. By using equity to fund these purchases, he aims to create a cycle of growth that could potentially increase shareholder value over time.
