Saylor Says MicroStrategy Can Survive a 90% BTC Crash

MicroStrategy executive chairman Michael Saylor dismissed concerns about Wall Street’s impact on Bitcoin volatility during a Fox Business interview Tuesday. Saylor stated the company’s Bitcoin position remains secure despite recent market turbulence.

Bitcoin fell nearly 12% over the past week to $91,616, erasing 2025 gains according to CoinMarketCap data. The decline coincided with MicroStrategy’s market premium narrowing significantly from recent highs.

Saylor emphasized Bitcoin has matured considerably since MicroStrategy began accumulating in 2020. The asset’s annualized volatility dropped from approximately 80% then to around 50% currently.

He projected Bitcoin volatility will decrease by five percentage points every few years as the asset matures. Saylor expects Bitcoin to eventually stabilize at 1.5 times the S&P 500 Index volatility while delivering 1.5 times better performance.

Stock Premium Contracts Alongside Bitcoin Price

The company’s mNAV multiple dropped to 1.11x from approximately 1.52x when Bitcoin reached its all-time high of $125,100 on October 5. The metric measures MicroStrategy’s market value relative to its Bitcoin holdings.

MSTR shares closed Tuesday at $206.80, declining 11.50% over five days according to Google Finance. MicroStrategy stock typically trades at a premium or discount compared to Bitcoin’s spot price.

The narrowing premium reflects broader market uncertainty affecting cryptocurrency-exposed equities. However, Saylor’s comments suggest confidence in the company’s long-term Bitcoin strategy despite short-term volatility.

Meanwhile, institutional adoption continues expanding as Bitcoin matures into a recognized asset class. Wall Street’s increased participation contributes to Bitcoin’s evolving volatility profile and market dynamics.

MicroStrategy Holdings Withstand Market Pressure

MicroStrategy holds 649,870 Bitcoin valued at $59.59 billion at publication time, according to SaylorTracker. Saylor declared “Bitcoin is stronger than ever” despite the recent price correction.

The company acquired 8,178 BTC for approximately $835.6 million at $102,171 per bitcoin on November 16, 2025. The purchase occurred as Bitcoin slipped below $93,000, triggering a death cross pattern.

MicroStrategy announced the acquisition on Monday, November 17, following Saylor’s Sunday social media post promising a “₿ig Week.” The timing aligned with significant cryptocurrency sector volatility.

The firm’s total Bitcoin position cost roughly $48.37 billion at an average price of $74,433 per bitcoin. MicroStrategy achieved a BTC yield of 27.8% year-to-date in 2025.

Following MicroStrategy’s latest purchase, the company maintains its position as the largest corporate Bitcoin holder globally. The firm continues its aggressive accumulation strategy despite market fluctuations.
