Michael Saylor Shrugs Off Ethereum’s Treasury Surge Like It’s Just a Tuesday

by

In the ever-volatile world of crypto, Michael Saylor, Bitcoin‘s most fervent evangelist, remains as unshaken as a stone in a monsoon. Despite Ethereum’s ever-growing treasury interest, Saylor showed no sign of breaking a sweat. Not even a single bead. Really, a true minimalist when it comes to worry.

During a Friday interview with Bloomberg-probably while sipping a cup of coffee with a wry smile-Saylor proclaimed, “I think there is an explosion of innovation across the entire crypto economy, and on the margin it is good for everybody in the digital asset space.” An explosion of innovation, indeed! 🚀 And you, dear reader, are likely part of it, even if you don’t own a single Bitcoin yet. But don’t worry-there’s always next year.

Saylor’s Laser Focus: More Laser, Less Focus on Anything Else

And yet, our man Saylor remains, as ever, laser-focused-no, laser-like, as he insists-on Bitcoin. He’s so focused, it’s as if the digital currency was the only thing on the planet. Forget the dozens of other cryptocurrencies roaming about; they’re like ants at a picnic compared to his towering Bitcoin. “I still think the vast majority of capital flowing in the space is flowing into Bitcoin,” Saylor noted. What an observation, Sherlock.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin (BTC) is dominating at 60.18% of the crypto market, as per TradingView data. A true giant. 🦾

Not one to leave a thought hanging in mid-air, Saylor continued: “In the past six months, the number of companies holding Bitcoin has jumped from a mere 60 to a hearty 160.” That’s a 166% increase, but hey, who’s counting? “So I’m laser-like focused on Bitcoin,” he repeated-because clearly, Bitcoin never gets old, not for him.

In case you’re wondering, Saylor’s company is currently holding the largest public Bitcoin treasury, a mighty 628,791 BTC worth about $74.15 billion. For comparison, the second-largest, MARA Holdings, holds a measly 50,639 BTC. That’s more than 12 times smaller, just in case you missed the math lesson. 📊

Saylor’s bold prediction: Bitcoin will leave the S&P 500 in the dust, for “the indefinite future.” Now that’s a forecast that’ll get the crypto world buzzing. If only we all had a crystal ball that gleamed with such certainty. 💎

Ethereum’s Bumpy Ride? Buckle Up!

Meanwhile, in the land of Ether, things are heating up. A mere month after Bitcoin smashed its previous all-time high at $123,100 (yes, that’s real, just in case you’re wondering), it has decided to rest comfortably at $118,035.

Ethereum, on the other hand, has climbed up the price ladder to a solid $4,224, a 23% increase over the last 30 days. But hey, who’s keeping score? Analysts are betting this is just the beginning of an Ethereum renaissance, following its dip below $2,000 back in March. Classic roller-coaster crypto behavior.

The Ether hype train’s surge is largely credited to institutional and ETF demand-those fancy terms that make you sound professional at dinner parties. And the market for public companies holding Ether has now ballooned to a hefty $11.77 billion. All aboard! 🚂

Leading the pack is BitMine Immersion Technologies, with an impressive 833,100 ETH worth $3.2 billion-coming in at number four in the overall crypto-holding leaderboard. Close on its heels are SharpLink Gaming and The Ether Machine, holding ETH worth $2 billion and $1.34 billion, respectively.

While Ethereum Foundation and PulseChain round out the top five, one can’t help but wonder: If Saylor isn’t sweating, should the rest of us? One thing’s for sure: There’s never a dull moment in the crypto circus. 🍿
