Other people wrote that Saylor and Microstrategy have already seen the potential Bitcoin has to offer, and they want “to monopolize the bitcoin market.” “He has discovered the potential ahead of the sleeping herd will reap the rewards more,” Yasir Shaikh tweeted in response to Saylor’s $10M in bitcoin purchase statements. “I Believe soon Microstrategy will have as big a market cap as FAANG,” Shaikh added.

It is the fourth largest entity listed on the web portal bitcointreasuries.org behind Grayscale, Mt Gox, and Block.one respectively. After the latest Microstrategy purchase some even jokingly said that Saylor and Microstrategy were addicted to purchasing BTC.

First, you start with sats, then you start stacking a full bitcoin and can’t stop,” an individual wrote in response to Saylor’s BTC purchase announcement on Friday morning.
