Bitcoin’s Potential to Overcome Corporate Mortality

Summary:
MicroStrategy’s Executive Chairman Michael Saylor recently discussed Bitcoin’s transformative potential on a podcast with Robin Seyr, describing it as a path to "economic immortality." Saylor highlighted that most companies do not survive beyond the founder’s death, with an average lifespan of around 10 years. He believes Bitcoin can help overcome corporate mortality and enable companies to "live forever."
Saylor emphasized Bitcoin’s revolutionary capacity to change the global economy, drawing parallels to scientific advancements that have drastically reduced mortality rates. He explained that Bitcoin allows for programmable capital, enabling global payments for 8 billion people at the speed of light without intermediaries.
He also discussed the impact of Bitcoin adoption in China, noting that if the Bank of Shanghai rolls out a Bitcoin ETF, it will provide access to 1.5 billion people, fueling Bitcoin’s price and economic stability. Analysts suggest Saylor’s vision extends beyond financial gains, viewing Bitcoin as foundational for a new era of economic stability and growth.
