Could Saylor's personal Bitcoin gains create conflicts of interest at MicroStrategy

Yes, Michael Saylor's personal Bitcoin gains could create potential conflicts of interest at MicroStrategy. Because both his personal wealth and the company’s fortunes are heavily tied to Bitcoin’s price, Saylor may have incentives to promote or pursue strategies that benefit Bitcoin—even if those strategies are not always in the best interest of all MicroStrategy shareholders. This alignment could lead to confirmation bias, where Saylor is less objective about Bitcoin risks or alternative strategies.

MicroStrategy has guidelines to help avoid conflicts of interest and inappropriate use of corporate information in personal Bitcoin transactions. However, the sheer scale of Saylor’s personal and corporate investments in Bitcoin means that questions about objectivity and self-interest are likely to persist, especially if Bitcoin’s value becomes volatile or if the company’s financial health is at risk.
