MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor has no plans to sell any Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BTC</a>) on the company’s balance sheet. 
In an interview with Bloomberg TV, Saylor noted that Spot ETFs had opened the gates for institutional capital to flow into the BTC ecosystem and that this type of fund contributes to the digital transformation of capital.

Bitcoin’s value, currently just over a trillion dollars, rivals asset classes such as gold, real estate, or even the <a href="https://crypto.news/microstrategys-bitcoin-success-sparks-speculation-on-potential-sp-500-entry/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">S&amp;P index</a> – all of which have market capitalizations many times larger than Bitcoin, Saylor said. 
BTC, Saylor argues, beats them all. 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> 
 “We believe capital is going to keep flowing from those asset classes into Bitcoin because Bitcoin is technically superior to those asset classes and that being the case, there’s just no reason to sell the winner and to buy the losers.” <cite>Michael Saylor, MicroStrategy CEO</cite>
