[DigitalToday reporter Yesle Kim] Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) Chairman Michael Saylor (마이클 세일러) has delivered a strong message on investing in bitcoin, drawing market attention.
On Feb. 13 (local time), blockchain outlet TheCryptoBasic said Saylor called bitcoin “a necessity, not a choice.” He pointed to the limits of the financial system and stressed that bitcoin is a true store of value.
Companies worldwide hold a total of 1.13 million BTC, of which Strategy holds 714,644 BTC, or 63%. The amount of bitcoin Strategy bought in January 2026 was 10,142 BTC, accounting for 97% of total additional corporate purchases.
Bitcoin is trading around $67,000, while Strategy’s average purchase price is about $76,000. Saylor stressed that investors should focus on long-term value rather than short-term price fluctuations.
“We view bitcoin as a long-term strategy and are not swayed by market volatility,” Saylor said. “Bitcoin is at the core of the future of finance, and now is the opportunity,” he added.
