Michael Saylor Says Strategy Can Deploy $100M in Bitcoin Within an Hour

Digital assets like Bitcoin do have some advantages over traditional finance. Corporate Bitcoin giant Strategy may be gearing up for another major purchase, after Executive Chairman Michael Saylor said the firm can deploy up to $100 million into Bitcoin within an hour. Speaking on Sunday at the Market Disrupters podcast, Saylor said Strategy’s treasury system is designed to move capital “almost instantaneously,” allowing the company to outperform traditional industries that take months or years to generate returns. The remarks reignited speculation that another large-scale Bitcoin acquisition could be imminent. Saylor explained that Bitcoin’s global liquidity enables a level of speed unmatched by any other asset class. “Sometimes we’re literally selling 50 million an hour or 100 million an hour and buying the $100 million of Bitcoin the same hour,” he said. “We could raise a billion in a day and be fully allocated by evening” Saylor described Strategy’s investment framework as one that transforms raised funds into Bitcoin “a thousand times faster than technology, real estate, oil, or gas.” “We could do a billion dollars of capital raising in a day and we might have $20 million of exposure at 4 p.m., and by 5 p.m., 6 p.m., we’re fully done,” he said. As of October 20, 2025, Bitcoin (BTC) trades near $110,000, buoyed by steady institutional inflows despite recent volatility. Strategy’s system converts proceeds from debt or equity offerings directly into BTC, creating what Saylor calls “a continuous cycle of value creation,” where raising capital and accumulating Bitcoin happen almost simultaneously. The company currently holds 640,259 BTC, or about 2.5% of the total supply, making it the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder. Each new purchase has historically fueled bullish confidence across the crypto market. Key takeaways from Saylor’s latest comments: Speed: Strategy can buy $50–$100 million worth of Bitcoin within an hour. Scale: It can raise and deploy up to $1 billion in one trading day. System: Internal treasury tools convert raised funds directly into BTC. Holdings: 640,259 BTC as of October 13. “Bitcoin allows us to build in real time,” Saylor said, contrasting it with sectors like energy or property, where capital deployment and yield cycles can take years. Saylor responds to critics: “They’re strategically ignorant” Strategy’s aggressive Bitcoin accumulation since 2020 has drawn scrutiny over dilution risks and volatility exposure. Saylor has dismissed such worries, calling detractors “strategically ignorant.” He clarified that critics misunderstand how Bitcoin-backed balance sheets work. “The equity investors value the company based on BTC yield, the appreciation of Bitcoin per share,” he said.  “Credit investors value the credit, this credit security based upon USD yield, and so just swapping a fiat yield, a yen, a euro, a US dollar yield for a BTC yield with the Bitcoin as the collateral.”   Saylor recalled that Strategy’s first Bitcoin purchase in October 2020, more than 20,000 BTC, marked the start of a new era in corporate treasury strategy.  Despite price swings, he maintains that Bitcoin is a durable store of value rather than a speculative gamble, arguing that skeptics “choose not to understand” the long-term vision behind MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin standard.
