TD₿: Michael Saylor Buys More Bitcoin, Staying Ahead of ETF Issuers - (a Swan original video series) with Dante Cook

TL;DR: Saylor remains aggressive and relentless, acquiring another 850 Bitcoin; what are the primary differences between MSTR stock and spot Bitcoin ETFs, and are another round of bank runs imminent?

Feb 08, 2024

Hey Bitcoiner’s

The King is back. In today’s episode, Dante discusses Michael Saylor and MicroStrategy’s new additional 850 Bitcoin purchase. But, how long can MicroStrategy stay ahead of the nine ETF issuers in Bitcoin holdings?

Plus, we do a deep dive into the difference between owning these ETFs and MicroStrategy stock. Also, with New York Community Bank stock plummeting 70% YTD, are we seeing the re-emergence of bank runs in the US?

Time to get on the Bitcoin lifeboat.

Enjoy!
