ToggleEnterprises Should Stop Relying on Stock Buybacks, Bitcoin is the True Financial Upgrade
Saylor first pointed out that the S&P 500 index is the opportunity cost for retail investors, and traditional finance teaches stock buybacks and dividends, but you're just putting money back into the market without truly creating value.
"Buying Bitcoin (BTC) with cash is a true digital transformation," he stated.
Traditional Financial Crisis is Rampant, Buying Bitcoin is a Life-Saving Asset
Saylor said that currently, US stock trading is concentrated in a few companies, but in fact, thousands of small and medium-sized listed enterprises have become zombie companies. He believes these enterprises can bring investors' attention back by converting assets to Bitcoin.
He also pointed out that traditional enterprises can only wait for death when encountering economic turbulence, war, or trade conflicts. If they use surplus to buy Bitcoin, even if the core business is struggling, the asset value remains.
Don't Repay Mortgage or Buy Sports Cars, Buy Bitcoin Instead
Saylor believes that for the average worker, the smartest approach is to maintain the core business, control expenses, and maximize fund conversion to Bitcoin. He even suggests setting a 10-20 year long-term mortgage and using the borrowed funds to buy Bitcoin, as mortgage is the cheapest long-term funding source.
He further noted that if a Bitcoin is worth $13 million by 2045, each Bitcoin not bought now means missing out on $13 million in the future.
MicroStrategy Shareholders Celebrate, Claiming This Bitcoin Company Saved Everyone
Saylor shared that many people have achieved financial freedom by buying MicroStrategy (Strategy) stock (MSTR) in recent years.

Launching Bitcoin Financial Tools, Everything Can Be Bitcoinized in the Future
Saylor's latest financial tools include:
Strife: Using Bitcoin as over-collateral, with 10% annual interest, no redemption period, and perpetual debt rights, perfectly suited for retirement accounts seeking long-term fixed income
Strike: Focusing on 8% annual interest with an additional 35% Bitcoin equity appreciation convertible bond, for conservative investors wanting gains without fear of decline
Saylor stated that countries could also issue Bitcoin-backed bonds (Bit Bonds), which could attract global buyers and significantly enhance national financial autonomy.

After the Crisis, the Moment of Bitcoin Believers' Birth

Can be traded on weekends
Tradable globally
No supply chain, tax, or regulatory risks
The only asset that can be operated with high leverage during a crisis
Why Don't Mainstream Media Understand? Saylor Says It's Still Day 25 of the Lily Pad
Saylor gives an analogy: "It takes 30 days for a whole pond of lily pads to be full, but only on the 27th day can you see what has grown." Although many mainstream media still don't fully understand what Bitcoin is, investors have started to participate frantically, and Bitcoin (BTC) has already occupied 16% of the total stock market capital raising.
Saylor also hinted on 5/11 on X that he is about to enter Bitcoin (BTC). So far, MicroStrategy:
