Michael Saylor, a prominent Bitcoin advocate and chairman of the renowned investment firm Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), in his usual adulation for Bitcoin, has acknowledged Bitcoin as a key contributor to Strategy’s financial success.
Bitcoin featured in Saylor's book of finance
On May 16, Saylor released a bullish post in what he tagged as the curriculum for an MSTR degree in finance. The post, which indicates that BTC has played a major role behind the scenes of MSTR’s success, has triggered mixed reactions from several X users.

Among the eight courses listed in Saylor’s curriculum, BTC has attracted the most interest from X users. According to Saylor, solid knowledge in MSTU, MSTX, MST, BTC, BMAX, STRK, STRF, and MSTY could help growing firms achieve Strategy's kind of financial success.
This implies that the integration of Bitcoin into modern financial education is what retail and institutional investors need to maximize the potential of the digital market ecosystem.
Nonetheless, the post has gained support among the crypto community, as many have remained bullish on the leading cryptocurrency despite recent price dips.
Considering Strategy's success in the crypto space, retail investors and emerging firms are increasingly looking up to its investment pattern as they aim to achieve similar goals. The crypto industry has seen an increasing number of Bitcoin investors adopt the Bitcoin accumulation strategy, thereby fueling potential upsurge in Bitcoin’s price performance.
Bitcoin investors still bullish
Despite the recent massive bull run that saw Bitcoin surge by more than 10% in a day, the market has retraced slightly, with the price of Bitcoin and other major altcoins returning to previous positions and trading negatively over the past days.
While Bitcoin has held steady above $100,000 despite the pressure from exiting traders and panic sellers, institutional investors like Strategy have not relented on their Bitcoin accumulation strategy.
This has fueled hype around Bitcoin, as investors remain optimistic for a sustainable bullish trend that could see Bitcoin hitting a new all-time high before the end of this bull cycle.
