Saylor has long been bullish about BTC. He said during his company’s Q1 earnings call: “I see evidence of a lot more institutional adoption, greater adoption amongst macro and other hedge funds … We look forward to the next wave of institutional adoption that, I think, should be driven as people get more educated and more aware of what digital property is.”
