Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor took the stage in Bitcoin in 2025 with a speech as “21 Ways of Wealth.” “This speech is for you,” he said. “I’ve traveled the world and told countries, institutional investors, and even our children’s mentality, why Bitcoin is needed. It’s for everyone, every family, every small business. It’s for everyone.”
He started with clarity. “The first way to get wealth is clarity,” he said. “The moment you are clear, you realize that Bitcoin is capital – perfect capital, programmable capital, honest capital.” For Saylor, everyone on Earth who has thoughtful thought will eventually seek this raw capital, and every AI system will like it more.
The second path is faith. Bitcoin will be faster than all other assets, he said, because it is designed for performance. “It will be faster than real estate or collectibles. It is the most effective store of value in human history.”
The third way is courage. “If you’re going to get rich with Bitcoin, you need courage,” he warned. “Wealth benefits those who advocate the risk of smart currency. Some will fall behind. Others will cheat on it. But the bold people will eat the fire – sell your bonds and buy Bitcoin. An extraordinary explosion of value is coming.”
The fourth is cooperation. “If you get the full support of your family, you will be stronger. Your children have the time and potential. Secrets are transferring capital to their hands. A family that acts in a unified way is unstoppable.”
The fifth is ability. “Master AI,” he said. “In 2025, everything you can imagine is within reach – the universe, analysis, creativity. Ask AI, use it to argue about it. You can be a super genius. Don’t put yourself first – put your interests first, put your interests first. Your family will thank you.”
Saylor’s sixth way of wealth is to make up: build legal entities to expand your strategy and protect your assets. “Ask AI and figure it out. You can work hard, or you can work smart. This year, everyone should operate like the most sophisticated millionaire family office.”
The seventh is citizenship. He said carefully choose your economic connection – “Sovietism respects your free dwelling.” “It’s not just this year – it’s about this century.”
The eighth is civilization. “Respect the natural force structure of the world. Respect the natural force.” “If you want to generate wealth in the Bitcoin universe, don’t fight unnecessary. Find common ground. Inflation and distraction are your enemies.”
The ninth is the company. “A well-structured company is the most powerful engine of wealth on the planet. Family is strong. Partnership is stronger. But companies can expand globally. What is your vehicle? What is your road?”
The tenth is the focus. “Just because what you can do doesn’t mean you should do it,” he warned. “If you invest in Bitcoin, there will be a 90% chance of success in five years. Don’t confuse ambition with achievement. Come up with strategies and stick with it.”
The eleventh is fairness. “Share your opportunities with investors who will share your risks,” he said. He noted that Microstrategy itself rose from $10 million to $5 billion in market capitalization, consistent with equity partners who believe in Bitcoin missions.
The twelfth is credit. “There are people in the world who are afraid of the future – they want small amounts of gains, certainty. Provide. Give creditors security in exchange for capital. Turn their fears into fuel and turn risks into production by investing in Bitcoin.”
The thirteenth is compliance. “Create the best companies in the rules of the market. Understand the rules of the road. If you know them, you can drive faster. You can scale legally and sustainably.”
The fourteenth line is capitalized. “Speed speed makes wealth more complicated,” Saylor said. “ Raise capital and reinvest capital as quickly as possible. The faster your money goes into a productive Bitcoin strategy, the more IT multiplied.”
The fifteenth is communication. “Talk to be frank. Behave in a transparent way. Repeat your message frequently.” “Creating wealth with Bitcoin is simple, but only when people understand what you are doing and why you are doing.”
Sixteen is a promise. “Don’t distract yourself,” he said. “Don’t chase your own ideas. Don’t feed trolls. Dedication. This is the greatest idea in the world. The world may not care about your ideas, but it will care when you win.”
The seventeenth way is ability. “You don’t compete with noise, but with laser-centric people, flawless,” he said. “You have to provide consistent, accurate and reliable performance. That’s your win.”
The eighteenth is an adaptation. “The situation changes. Every structure you trust today will eventually fail. A wise man is ready to give up his luggage and adjust his plan when needed. Stiffness is destructive.”
The nineteenth generation is evolution. “Based on your core strengths. You don’t have to start over – you need to upgrade. Take advantage of the best you’ve done and expand it with Bitcoin and advanced technology.”
Twenty is advocacy. “Inspire others to follow this coin path,” he said. “Become a missionary of economic freedom. Show others what this revolution really means. Show them the path.”
Finally, Article 21 is generous. “When you succeed (and you will be successful), happiness. Share safety. With hope. The light within will shine. Others will be attracted.”
When he ends, Sailer smiles and quotes the origins of it all:
“If you grab something, it may make sense to get something.” – Satoshi.
In Michael Saylor’s worldview, Bitcoin is not a wealthy plan, it’s the ultimate long-term game. It is the basis of the engine of generational wealth, personal and institutional freedom, and a tool for those who are bold enough to make humanity a more sovereign and secure future.
