In his traditional style, MicroStrategy founder shared an AI-generated image, in which Saylor depicted sitting in front of a window in a room with an extraterrestrial Martian landscape in the background behind the window. He is dressed as a spaceman with MSTR letters and a BTC mascot (both in orange – the color of Bitcoin) on his white jacket.
“We are going to Mars,” the tweet states.
The community responded with a wave of bullish comments, sharing Saylor’s enthusiasm. Here one may see an analogy to Elon Musk and his connection to the pro-crypto president Trump. Musk intends to send uncrewed rockets to Mars in two years when there is the shortest distance between Earth and Mars. If all goes well, according to him, in two years after that SpaceX will deliver the first crewed spaceships.
This surge took place after a decline of 5.20% that Bitcoin has been facing between Tuesday and Thursday this week.
Bitcoin soared as the pro-crypto US senator Cynthia Lummis who proposed building a US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve in the summer of 2024 tweeted: “Big things are coming,” hinting at the growing chances of the BTC reserve coming true.
At the exchange rate of approximately $105,000, 6,120 BTC translated to roughly $642.6 million in value produced thanks to MicroStrategy’s treasury operations. Thus, Saylor underscored, the company follows its commitment to maximizing shareholder returns.
This week, the company added more Bitcoin to its stash, purchasing a staggering $1.1 billion worth of BTC, now holding a total of 461,000 Bitcoins.
