Michael Saylor, founder of MicroStrategy, has expressed his openness to providing advice on purchasing Bitcoin (BTC).

According to Bloomberg on the 18th (local time), Michael Saylor stated in an interview, "I understand that the Donald Trump administration, which will take office next month, is creating a Digital Asset Advisory Committee, and if asked to participate, I would accept."

Although Saylor did not directly mention meeting President-elect Trump, it is reported that he has met with many members of the incoming administration.

Saylor also hinted that he would not stop purchasing Bitcoin. He said, "Currently, we hold $7.2 billion in convertible bonds, of which $4 billion is essentially like equity. They have exceeded the exercise price and claim price, and are trading with a delta value of about 100%." He added, "We plan to focus more on raising capital for Bitcoin purchases. We want to build smarter leverage for the benefit of common stock shareholders."

Additionally, Saylor addressed concerns related to MicroStrategy, stating, "We are running a solid software business unit, and Bitcoin investment is not all we do. The software sector generates $75 million in annual operating income, while Bitcoin yields $18.6 billion in unrealized investment income annually."
