Real estate is dead. #Bitcoin is the future.
Everyone thought it was crazy when Michael Saylor announced that MicroStrategy would shift its corporate treasury from cash to Bitcoin in 2020.
At a time when most CEOs were focused on safe, low-risk investments, Saylor doubled down on an asset infamous for its volatility.
His bet? That Bitcoin would outperform traditional inflation hedges like real estate over the long run.
And he was right.
The Old Playbook vs. New Realities
For decades, real estate was seen as the ultimate inflation hedge. But times have changed:
Real estate is illiquid—sales take months, if not years.
Taxes, maintenance, and management eat into profits.
The dollar's depreciation is making Bitcoin's fixed supply (21M) more appealing.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin:
Can be bought and sold in seconds.
No property taxes, no tenants, no maintenance.
Portable and divisible—you can take it anywhere.
A Radical Shift in Strategy
When Saylor started accumulating Bitcoin, he said:"Cash is a melting ice cube. Real estate may be slower to melt, but Bitcoin is antifreeze."
MicroStrategy went from holding $500M in cash to acquiring over 152,000 BTC, worth billions today. The result?
Stock price surge: Up more than 500% since the first Bitcoin purchase.
Treasury growth: Outperformed inflation and other asset classes by a wide margin.
Setting a trend: Tesla, Block, and even governments began exploring Bitcoin as a reserve asset.
Lessons for the Next 20 Years
Real estate as a "store of value" is losing ground to technology. Bitcoin's scarcity, security, and scalability make it an unparalleled alternative for wealth preservation.
In the future:
Smart money will hedge inflation with Bitcoin, not property.
Renting will rise, freeing capital for more liquid, appreciating assets.
Those clinging to traditional assets may face diminishing returns.
Takeaway
The rules of wealth building are changing. Are you adjusting your strategy, or clinging to the old playbook?
