U.Today – Amid the current drop in ‘s price, Michael Saylor, cofounder and chairman of MicroStrategy, has captured the attention in the crypto community with a thought-provoking statement. A staunch bitcoin advocate, Saylor took to X to share his insights, stating, “Success isn’t random—it’s calculated. Bitcoin.”
Saylor’s tweet was accompanied by an image that explained his caption.

The timing of Saylor’s tweet coincides with a period of volatility on the cryptocurrency market, where Bitcoin experienced a significant price drop. Several factors have contributed to this decline, including macroeconomic uncertainties and profit-taking by investors.

Saylor’s message speaks volumes
Saylor’s message, “Success isn’t random—it’s calculated,” underscores his Bitcoin approach. MicroStrategy, Saylor’s company, started acquiring Bitcoin in August 2020 as a hedge against inflation and an alternative to cash.
MicroStrategy, led by Saylor, declared 226,500 Bitcoin holdings on July 31, up a few coins since its most recent purchase announcement in mid-June. The 226,500 Bitcoins were purchased for $8.3 billion, or an average of $36,821 per token. For Saylor and MicroStrategy, Bitcoin is not a speculative gamble but a carefully considered strategy.
Saylor recently stated that he becomes more bullish on Bitcoin with each passing day.
