Sure thing, here it goes:

So I ended up stumbling into this keynote by Michael Saylor at this Bitcoin for Corporations thing they had in 2025. To be honest, didn’t expect much—kind of thought it’d be a snooze fest. But oh man, was I wrong. This guy, Saylor, he’s like the maestro of corporate what-the-heck moments. Seriously, he kicks off by saying 96% of public companies are basically zombies. Yep, “zombie companies” that can’t even beat a measly Treasury bill. Who knew?
Right, so picture the scene. Saylor’s been running Strategy (not sure what they exactly strategize about, but let’s roll with it) and he spins this yarn about how they flipped the switch back in 2020 with Bitcoin. Apparently, they went from “meh” to mega. It’s like they found cheat codes or something. “If you’re not Apple, Google, or Nvidia,” he says, you might want a rethink.
His pitch was like, I don’t know, a late-night infomercial but with way more zeros. Bitcoin, according to him, is the real deal. Called it an antidote—makes it sound like it’s curing some corporate disease. And he’s not a fan of AI, apparently. Thinks it only boosts the big guys more. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is the rebel with a cause—indestructible, invisible, immortal. Sounds like a superhero to me.
And then he’s like, “You want to 10x your company? Buy Bitcoin.” Simple, right? But wait, there’s more! You can 100x if you use somebody else’s cash. I mean, I chuckled a bit. He’s probably got a point though; those Magnificent Seven (you know, the tech giants) are going nowhere, really. But maybe there’s hope for the others who sync up to this global thing called Bitcoin.
He ended with this dramatic, almost movie-like finish. Bitcoin as the ultimate partner? Sure. “Are you ready to make the merger?” he asks, like proposing to a crowd of curious corporates. Pretty gutsy. I wonder how many took the dive after hearing that. Watch the highlights of his talk on the Bitcoin Magazine channel if you’re curious, but honestly, nothing beats being there in person with all the vibes and that peculiar smell of innovation—or maybe it was just coffee.
Anyway, where was I? Oh right, check it out if you’re into that kind of corporate rollercoaster. Who knows, maybe you’ll spot your next big move. Or maybe just laugh a bit at how Saylor’s charisma is a force of its own.
