Founder of MicroStrategy, Bitcoin holding giant, and its chairman, <a href="https://u.today/key-bitcoin-definition-issued-by-michael-saylor-as-btc-stages-decline" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Michael Saylor,</a> continues to endorse the world’s pioneer cryptocurrency in his tweets. This time, in his tweet, he emphasized Bitcoin’s strong qualities as a store of value, comparing it to other assets.
Saylor took to his X/Twitter account to say “Bitcoin is for the money you can't afford to lose.”
<blockquote>
 <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bitcoin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">#Bitcoin</a> is for the money you can't afford to lose.<a href="https://t.co/vaIzWh3KnA" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pic.twitter.com/vaIzWh3KnA</a>— Michael Saylor⚡️ (@saylor) <a href="https://twitter.com/saylor/status/1785439139187626336?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">April 30, 2024</a>
</blockquote>
On the animated chart that came with the tweet, Saylor showed that since the halving that took place in 2016 (the second halving event in Bitcoin’s history) the percentage of original Bitcoin value relative to Bitcoin has been 100%. Therefore, it has been perfect as a store of value, Michael Saylor hinted, compared to its rivals – gold, the S&amp;P 500, U.S. real estate, the U.S. dollar and three other fiat currencies (albeit used in countries with troublesome economies), the Nigerian naira, the Turkish lira and the Argentine peso.

MicroStrategy, led by Bitcoin evangelist Michael Saylor, announced that during the month of April, it had acquired an additional <a href="https://u.today/heres-how-much-michael-saylors-microstrategy-now-owns-in-bitcoin" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC lump of 122 coins</a>. That cost the business intelligence giant approximately $7.8 million as it bought those Bitcoins at the price of $63,934.
The company’s Bitcoin stash currently constitutes 214,400 BTC evaluated at a staggering $5.68 billion.
Over the past month, the world’s largest cryptocurrency has seen a massive price reduction as it dropped from above the $72,450 level to the current $58,150 price tag.
Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin lost roughly 10% after Binance's CZ was sentenced to four months in prison, “Bitcoin Jesus” Roger Ver was arrested for tax evasion in Spain, Hong Kong Bitcoin-Ethereum ETFs failed to meet traders’ expectations on the first trading day and a few other important factors.
