Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor said bitcoin (BTC) remains poised to outperform traditional assets over the coming years despite recent volatility that has weighed on both the cryptocurrency and shares of his company.
Speaking Tuesday with co-anchor Andrew Ross Sorkin on CNBC’s Squawk Box, Saylor said he expects bitcoin to significantly outpace major equity benchmarks over longer timeframes.
“I think bitcoin is going to double or triple the performance of the S&P over the next four to eight years,” Saylor said.
The comments come as bitcoin trades below $70,000 following a pullback from record highs above $126,000 reached in October last year, a move that has also pressured crypto-linked equities. Strategy shares (NASDAQ:MSTR) recently fell to around $103 before rebounding to roughly $138 this week, while bitcoin has dropped by roughly 9% over the past week, according to The Block price data.
Despite the downturn, Strategy continues adding to its bitcoin treasury.
The company disclosed Monday it purchased another 1,142 BTC for roughly $90 million, bringing total holdings to 714,644 BTC — more than 3.4% of bitcoin’s fixed supply. However, the value of those holdings currently remains below the firm’s aggregate purchase cost following the recent slide.
‘We’re not going to be selling’
Saylor also dismissed concerns that Strategy could eventually be forced to sell bitcoin if prices remain under pressure. “We’re not going to be selling,” he said. “We’re going to be buying bitcoin. I expect we’ll be buying bitcoin every quarter forever.”
Strategy CEO Phong Le recently told investors the company’s balance sheet would only face serious strain if bitcoin fell roughly 90% to around $8,000 and stayed there for five to six years — a scenario he described as an extreme downside case.
Saylor ultimately framed bitcoin’s volatility as inherent to the asset’s appeal, arguing investors with multi-year horizons remain focused on long-term performance rather than short-term swings.
