<p>In a recent Bloomberg <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQ-F9l7n2yc&amp;ab_channel=BloombergTechnology" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">interview</a>, Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, has expressed strong optimism about the impact of Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on the cryptocurrency market.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Saylor, known for his bullish stance on Bitcoin, believes that the approval of these ETFs could be a significant catalyst for Bitcoin's growth, arguing that it could be one of the biggest developments on Wall Street in three decades.</p>

<p>Saylor highlights the importance of Bitcoin spot ETFs, drawing a parallel with the creation of the S&amp;P index and its transformative impact on equity investment.&nbsp;</p>
<p>He points out that the current <a href="https://u.today/3-factors-that-should-push-bitcoin-btc-to-43000" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> market is primarily driven by traditional crypto investors and "hodlers." At the same time, mainstream investors and institutions have lacked a high bandwidth, compliant channel to invest in Bitcoin.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The approval of spot ETFs, anticipated in January, could open up the market to a broader investor base, potentially leading to a demand shock in the market.</p>

<p>The anticipated approval of <a href="https://u.today/sec-denial-of-bitcoin-etf-might-result-in-one-of-biggest-crypto-rugpulls-analyst-predicts" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">spot Bitcoin ETFs</a> is expected to coincide with a supply shock in April. The daily availability of Bitcoin from natural sellers, like miners, will halve from 900 to 450 Bitcoins.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Saylor predicts this combination of increased demand and decreased supply could lead to a major bull run in 2024.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Unlike ETFs, which are unleveraged and charge fees, MicroStrategy can generate additional Bitcoin through its operations and take advantage of intelligent leverage, like borrowing at 0% interest.&nbsp;</p>
<p>MicroStrategy intends to continue acquiring Bitcoin, adapting its acquisition strategies to market conditions and opportunities.&nbsp;</p>
