<p>“<em>Wall Street loves bitcoin. They are buying 12.5 times more bitcoins per day than the network can produce</em>,” astutely notes crypto trader Pomp on Twitter. According to him, daily acquisitions far exceed the network’s production, reaching up to 12.5 times more. For Michael Saylor of MicroStrategy, Bitcoin spot ETFs have played a crucial role in popularizing cryptocurrency, thus propelling its price to new heights.</p>

<p>Michael Saylor, the leading figure of MicroStrategy (and of Bitcoin), states that <strong>the recent introduction of Bitcoin ETFs leads to a rise in the cryptocurrency’s prices</strong>, due to a massive imbalance between supply and demand in the cryptocurrency world. According to him, nearly a decade of pent-up demand for <strong>a BTC product accessible to retail investors</strong> is being released.</p>

<p>“<em>There’s ten years of pent-up demand that people have been waiting for these ETFs, and finally, traditional investors can access Bitcoin, and I think that’s what’s driving the influx of capital into this asset class</em>,” he highlighted in an interview with <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/fr/markets/2024/02/13/michael-saylor-believes-demand-for-bitcoin-products-is-10x-the-supply/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CoinDesk</a>.</p>
<p>The current demand for Bitcoin stems from <strong>its uncorrelated nature with traditional risk assets</strong> and its lack of exposure to specific events such as quarterly earnings, conflicts, or supply chain disruptions, explained Saylor, former CEO of MicroStrategy.</p>

<p>Furthermore, MicroStrategy, a pioneer in accumulating bitcoins, is even considering <strong>rebranding itself as a ‘Bitcoin development company’</strong>, in line with its strategy to expand its BTC ownership and foster blockchain growth. Notably, MicroStrategy is originally a software publisher facilitating business intelligence.</p>
<p>According to Saylor, this model offers greater flexibility compared to an investment trust, allowing the company to <strong>develop software</strong>, generate cash flows, accumulate BTC for its shareholders, and contribute to the growth of the namesake network.</p>
<p>“<em>It’s natural for us to position ourselves as a Bitcoin development company</em>,” he concluded, comparing MicroStrategy to a development company focused on sectors such as real estate or oil.</p>
