Michael Saylor is a business leader and entrepreneur from the United States. He is one of MicroStrategy's co-founders and its chief executive officer. Saylor served as CEO of MicroStrategy from 1989 to 2022. It has the most extensive bitcoin holdings among public companies and is still willing to serve as a crypto advisor in the next Trump government.
Michael Saylor would consider joining the Trump administration as a crypto advisor, but he refused to reveal if he ever met with President Trump to discuss this topic.
Michael Saylor Interview Statements
In a recent interview, Saylor was asked about his political beliefs and potential engagement with the next administration. Saylor smiled when asked if he had met with President Trump, refusing to say whether or not these connections were happening.
He stated:
“I was unable to provide more commentary, although I've met a number of the incoming administration's members.”
However, he said he would be open to the concept when asked if he would be interested in serving as a crypto advisor on a future crypto advising council. He announced:
“I'm always happy to share my opinions on positive digital assets policy, whether private or public, and I'd probably agree to join a Digital Assets Advisory Council if requested.”
Speculation on Saylor's Role
Saylor's comments align with speculation that he may be involved with the next government. Saylor recently shared on social media that Bitcoin was "on the menu" at his meeting with Eric Trump at Mar-A-Lago. Apart from these rumours, there isn't any hard proof that Saylor played a key role in Trump's leadership.
However, it wouldn't be weird if this happened: Since the beginning of his campaign, Trump has advocated promoting cryptocurrency, even naming a crypto-focused czar (David Sacks) and a crypto-friendly candidate (Paul Atkins) to lead the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Saylor's acceptance of Trump's cryptocurrency effort would strengthen his support for Bitcoin. He would advocate for policies that focus on Bitcoin and continue to lead one of the most dedicated cryptocurrency initiatives ever launched by a nation-state: creating a strategic Bitcoin maintenance for the United States using its gold reserves.
