MicroStrategy founder and tech titan Michael Saylor has issued a warning about the influx of AI-generated deepfake scams in the Bitcoin community.
The alarm follows several reports last week flagging fake AI-generated videos of Saylor reportedly promising to “double people’s money instantly.” The fake ad prompted customers to scan a QR code to send Bitcoin (BTC) to the perpetrator’s address.
One user posted on X (formerly Twitter), that Michael Saylor’s deepfake video popped up on YouTube (again).
In response, Saylor wrote on Sunday, that “there is no risk-free way to double your Bitcoin.”
“MicroStrategy doesn’t give away BTC to those who scan a barcode,” he stressed.
