Michael Saylor, a prominent Bitcoin advocate and executive chairman of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), views market volatility as an opportunity for committed investors, as reflected in his quote, “Volatility is a gift to the faithful. It scares away the tourist,” shared in the X post by Vivek4real_ on April 16, 2025.
Saylor’s perspective aligns with his company’s significant Bitcoin investments, having acquired over 500,000 Bitcoins, including a recent purchase of 22,048 BTC for $1.92 billion between March 24 and March 30, 2025, at an average price of $86,969 per coin, as noted in Yahoo Finance.
Research from Fidelity Digital Assets supports Saylor’s view on volatility, showing Bitcoin’s Sortino ratio of 1.86 over the last two years—nearly double its Sharpe ratio—indicating that much of its volatility is upside, offering higher rewards for investors willing to endure the fluctuations.
