The Chief Executive Officer of MicroStrategy, Michael Saylor, expresses his faith in BTC being less risky than bonds and gold. He publicly expressed his opinions in an interview with CNBC after praising Fidelity’s adoption of Bitcoin as a possible retirement savings option for its clientele.
During the interview, Saylor informed CNBC that he is pleased with Fidelity’s recent announcement and claims that the provision had long-term benefits. Fidelity Investments turned out to be the first retirement savings firm in America to provide BTC as a potential option for citizens’ 401(k) accounts.
Saylor afterward went on to say that investing in Bitcoin was less risky than investing in bonds, commodities, properties, or the stock market. The executive went on to say that the virtual asset savings provision of Fidelity Investments has overcome certain technicalities that concern the provision of a 401(k) savings plan.
He also added that the adoption of BTC as a savings option for its clientele would fill a crucial vacuum in the financial investments market. Additionally, despite its current price, Saylor advocates a bullish form for BTC in the long term.
BTC’s performance has been under par in the past few months, currently selling below 40k USD an asset. Saylor claims that maximalists of virtual assets would benefit the BTC market over the long haul. However, he maintains that technocrats and market trading activities determine the markets.
