Michael Saylor Breaks Silence on Strategy's Bitcoin Sell-Off

The crypto market is having a rough week. Bitcoin and altcoins, already trending down, saw sharp declines following Strategy's long-standing BTC sale. Bitcoin dropped to $63,000 and Ethereum slipped to $1,770, prompting Strategy founder Michael Saylor to weigh in after the dust settled.

Saylor argued that capital flowing from Bitcoin into artificial intelligence isn't a threat to BTC's value but rather a textbook capital rotation. In a post on his X account, Saylor noted that capital markets are funding AI infrastructure on a historical scale, with roughly $400 billion deployed over the last six months.

Still, the AI gold rush has dragged liquidity out of crypto. Approximately $4 billion has exited spot Bitcoin ETFs since May 14th, piling downward pressure on Bitcoin and ratcheting up volatility for an already jittery market.

Saylor, ever the optimist, framed the turbulence as opportunity rather than crisis. "The capital market is funding AI on a historical scale… This is putting pressure on $BTC. This is a capital rotation, not a devaluation of Bitcoin. Volatility creates opportunities." *This is not investment advice.
