Michael Saylor’s Optimism on BTC Not New
Michael Saylor’s optimism over Bitcoin is not new but has stayed in place for a long time. In a recent interview with CNBC, he also expressed his upbeat outlook on Bitcoin.

He explicitly mentioned the impending April halving event as a key driver of the anticipated spike in the price of BTC.
