On Thanksgiving Day, Saylor also shared an AI-generated image of himself sitting at a table eating a lavish Thanksgiving dinner. What’s intriguing about the photo is that it shows Bitcoin coins along with the main course, which goes perfectly with the occasion. Although the image was generated by artificial intelligence, we cannot deny Saylor’s commitment to Bitcoin and what it can do for the world.

BTC milestones for Saylor and Microstrategy
Microstrategy is one of the first companies to adopt a “Bitcoin first” investment policy. The company currently holds 386,700 Bitcoins, which is roughly equivalent to $36 billion. With these holdings and plans to acquire more Bitcoin, Microstrategy is likely the largest corporate holder of this digital asset.
Microstrategy’s approach to Bitcoin it also affected other companies. For example, Rumble announced plans to convert its treasury strategy to Bitcoin. In other countries, political leaders are announcing their policy plans to adopt Bitcoin as part of financial systems. According to Michael Saylor, Microstrategy is backed by Bitcoin treasury operations, a policy dating back to August 2020.
Saylor and Microstrategy still face questions and challenges
Meanwhile, Saylor’s Bitcoin campaign continues and he plans to integrate Microsoft into the BTC movement. A few days ago, Saylor said he had agreed to give a three-minute presentation to Microsoft’s board. There’s no word yet on whether Saylor has convinced management to get into Bitcoin.
Although Saylor’s decisions have benefited the company, he still faces constant criticism. Some refute his controversial statements, while others claim that Saylor is not helping Bitcoin.
