Michael Saylor Shares His “21 Ways to Wealth” in Passionate Bitcoin 2025 Keynote
LAS VEGAS — At the Bitcoin 2025 conference on Thursday, Strategy (MSTR) Chair Michael Saylor delivered an impassioned keynote outlining his “21 ways to wealth,” a set of guiding principles centered around bitcoin and its transformative potential.
“Satoshi ignited a digital flame that many fear and avoid, while some treat it like a passing fancy,” Saylor said. “But the true believers fuel this fire, dreaming of a better world, and basking in the warm glow of cyberlight.”
He cautioned that many people will never embrace bitcoin and will miss out, while others will merely juggle or toy with it. “But those who truly understand bitcoin will feed the fire—by buying and holding it.”
Saylor, who leads Strategy and has guided its evolution into a bitcoin treasury company holding nearly 3% of all bitcoin, urged investors to exchange their less valuable assets for bitcoin.
“Trade your fiat for bitcoin. Convert your bonds, your underperforming stocks, and real estate into bitcoin,” he said. “Feeding the fire this way will spark extraordinary growth and open the door to lasting prosperity.”
One key takeaway from Saylor’s speech was the virtue of courage—embracing smart monetary risks in the pursuit of wealth.
He also encouraged the audience to maintain conviction, focus on their mission, collaborate with family, adopt AI, navigate existing power structures with civility, and practice generosity.
“When success comes—and it will—use your fortune to spread happiness, security, and hope,” Saylor said. “You’ve found the path before others; now share the light and create good karma.”
