Maximalist Michael Saylor may already be a Bitcoin billionaire if he had held the stash of the asset he publicly stated he owned. By not selling the 17,732 BTCs he claimed to have acquired in an X post in 2022, the Bitcoin bull’s personal portfolio would now be worth $1.1 billion.
Going by his public disposition towards Bitcoin, Saylor’s early acquisition of the largest crypto asset in the world should already cement his place as a whale. It is looking more likely that the Microstrategy founder bought more bitcoins than that he sold some of his bags.
Diamond Hand?
Since the tweet in 2022, Saylor has never talked about his personal Bitcoin exposure; however, his podcasts and discussions about Bitcoin suggest he is a diamond hand. As Salylor disclosed, he had begun accumulating Bitcoin before Microstrategy adopted the currency as a store of value and started the buying spree in 2020
The Bitcoin maximalist acquired the 17,732 bitcoins he last disclosed to be in personal trust with $175.2 million at an average price of $9,882. The asset has since then grown over 500%, reaching an all-time high of $69,000 in 2021, and is trading above $63,000 at press time.
Saylor Would Rank Well Among Whales
On-chain data shows that only about 109 addresses, out of the over 24 million that hold Bitcoin, have 10,000 and above BTCs. This means that Saylor would rank among the most prestigious whale class if he held on to his stash from the last disclosure.
Saylor would also be 47th in the list of the top 100 richest wallet addresses, a notable whale position for the former CEO of Microstrategy. It is purely speculative if Saylor still holds his Bitcoin bag, as he has not mentioned it during any of his numerous Bitcoin rallies nor responded to requests by the media.
