Strategy founder Michael Saylor said in an April 13 interview with Bankless that the firm will not turn defensive as its Bitcoin holdings grow, reiterating that accumulation remains the core strategy. "The more Bitcoin we buy, the better it is for the entire ecosystem," Saylor said, adding that Strategy will keep raising capital to buy more rather than diversify.
Why it matters
Saylor also pushed back on the quantum-computing threat to Bitcoin, arguing that Satoshi already addressed the question in the original design. The framing matters because Strategy is now the largest corporate holder of $BTC and Saylor's commentary tends to set the tone for the broader cohort of treasury buyers. A reaffirmation that the treasury thesis is non-negotiable — even as critics raise technical long-term risks — keeps the bid narrative intact.
Market impact
The interview lands as Strategy continues to be viewed by markets as a leveraged proxy on $BTC rather than a diversified operating company. Saylor's insistence that Strategy is a "pure Bitcoin stock, not a complex product mixed with other assets" reinforces that read: any softening of the thesis would force a repricing of the multiple investors have paid for that exposure.
