Michael Saylor has been dumping his personal exposure to bitcoin while at the same time endorsing taking on debt — even suggesting people mortgage their homes — to buy more. The MicroStrategy founder also taught classes to executives on how to leverage corporate assets and equities to buy the crypto. This month alone, Saylor has sold over $70 million worth of MicroStrategy stock, while in March he sold $144 million. Although staggeringly generous figures in their own right, Saylor has not opted to decline these multi-hundred-million dollar options contract vestings, viewing them as compensation for one of the best bets he’s made in his career — levering up MicroStrategy to buy 214,246-and-counting bitcoin. Buying that much Bitcoin on corporate leverage has paid off in spades, adding billion s of dollars in market capitalization since the company’s purchase program began. Year to date, Saylor has led on the doubling of MSTR ’s share price and commensu...
