Michael Saylor is an investor, entrepreneur and the chairman and co-founder of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), a company that provides business intelligence solutions.

In recent years, Saylor has invested heavily in Bitcoin via Strategy, to the extent that the company currently holds more than 500,000 BTC (valued at over $43 billion).

Saylor is a strong advocate for Bitcoin, a vocal participant in shaping the regulation of cryptocurrencies, and collaborates closely with authorities in his advocacy for a more structured approach to digital asset regulatory frameworks.

The 60-year-old’s notable involvements in how crypto has developed, and keeps evolving, include:

Alignment with the SEC:
Saylor has worked closely with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s “Crypto Task Force” to help construct a set of clear guidelines for the regulation of digital assets. His “Digital Assets Framework, Principles, and Opportunity for the United States” white paper sets out six defined areas for consideration.

Strategic Bitcoin Reserve:
Saylor promotes the case and believes the U.S. government should acquire between 5-25% of the total BTC supply by 2035, to help ensure the country’s economic future and reduce national debt.

Institutional Adoption:
He’s also an advocate for traditional financial institutions to custody, trade and finance Bitcoin assets.

Overall, Saylor is working towards a vision of the U.S. as the global leader in digital assets and finance, a position that the government is also targeting, and his vast experience places him at the center of the movement.
