My journey into the world of Bitcoin began back in 2019. At first, I started using Bitcoin only as a trading asset on Paxful. Of course, at this point, I didn't really understand what I was getting into. Trading was interesting, but my understanding of it was pretty superficial.
@saylor@AlexesNakamoto Thank you for the role you have played in fueling Bitcoin evangelism and adoption. I can’t wait to see the next ten years. History is going to be very kind.
When I gave this speech in October 2022, Bitcoin traded near $20,000, Strategy held 130,000 BTC worth about $2.6 billion, and $MSTR was ~$24 split-adjusted. Weeks later, after Bitcoin fell below $16,000, our debt exceeded the combined value of our BTC and cash reserves by ~$300 million, and $MSTR fell into the $13 range by year-end.
We stayed focused, strengthened the company, and executed our strategy. Since then, Strategy has raised over $60 billion of additional capital and invested it in Bitcoin, adding more than 716,000 BTC. Today, our BTC and USD reserves exceed debt by ~$48 billion. Thank you to everyone who believed, endured, and took the long view.
If I was running @Strategy from an operational marketing BHAG approach, I'd lend every major Bitcoin company @Saylor for one month over the next year.
Deploy Saylor for the Bitcoin capital markets the same way Elon deploys for his companies.
Identify the biggest problem. Solve it. "A rising tide..."
Confidence is built every time you keep a promise to yourself.
It's not something you wait to feel.
It is something you earn by becoming the woman you said you wanted to be.
