During a recent Bloomberg interview, MicroStrategy co-founder Michael Saylor has revealed that he has not sold any of the coins that he personally owns. 

This means that Saylor holds roughly $1 billion worth of crypto, according to the business outlet.  

While Bitcoin is volatile, Saylor claims that it is superior to every other available option for long-term capital management.   

Saylor explains that the leading cryptocurrency is capable of creating "generational wealth" for one's family or corporation. "You can liquidate it at any time, any amount, anywhere in the world or you can hold it for any amount of time without active management or business acumen, " he added.

Saylor has also downplayed the importance of recent pullbacks, stating that timing the market is impossible.
