So that\u2019s his view,\u201d said Back. \u201cI think one way to look at those high interest rates, though, is \u2013 let\u2019s say it\u2019s 10% when Bitcoin is $100,000, but it\u2019s 1% when it\u2019s $1 million.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cI think he has an eye on the far future and is just trying to buy as much Bitcoin as possible,\u201d said Adam Back<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meanwhile, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said, \u201cWhat Michael is doing is elegant, but it is financial engineering.

The young CEO continued, \u201cHe\u2019s never ever charged me a dime to learn from him, right? That\u2019s the way I think about. He\u2019s a pioneer in that way.

And this industry does that sometimes where Satoshi created Bitcoin and it\u2019s a decentralized cryptocurrency. And then Vitalik Buterin prints a bunch of tokens in his basement and goes, I\u2019m also a decentralized cryptocurrency. It\u2019s like, well, you know, that\u2019s not technically the definition of decentralized. But now decentralized and crypto has become something that\u2019s impossible to define. It depends the circle you\u2019re in and what you\u2019re talking about. I feel similarly about Bitcoin treasury companies.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cDo we have a Bitcoin treasury business? Absolutely,\u201d Mallers added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cI love shorting the dollar and buying Bitcoin. It\u2019s incredibly profitable!

Or tell your clients to buy Bitcoin,\u201d said Back, talking about fund managers. \u201cIf you turn around and apply that to an operating company, how do you keep up with Bitcoin? Well, I think you have to use Bitcoin as your cash reserves. Of course, some volatility and cash reserves are required apart from Bitcoin. And reinvest in your business to grow your cash flow. Use some of that to buy Bitcoin. And then if you\u2019re a public format. Use the capital markets too \u2013 amplify that affect. But I think there\u2019s been a mixture in the market of pure plays \u2013 like MicroStrategy has basically become a pure play because their core business revenues become de minimis but there are also a great number of pure plays. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I think we\u2019ll probably see a kind of return to more operating business revenue and Bitcoin standard treasury.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cTether itself has a huge balance sheet that is providing a lot of cash flow and allows us to buy Bitcoin,\u201d said Tether CEO<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><b>DISCOVER:<\/b><a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/best-meme-coin-icos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">\u00a0<b>Best Meme Coin ICOs to Invest in 2025<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">    <\/p>\n<div class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways\">\n<h2 class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__title\">Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">    <\/p>\n<ul class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list\">\n        <\/ul>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">    <\/p>\n<li class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list-item\">\n        <\/li>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u201cSaylor has an eye on the far future, and he\u2019s just trying to buy as much Bitcoin as he can,\u201d said Adam Back.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n    <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">    <\/p>\n<li class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list-item\">\n        <\/li>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u201cLook at Tether\u2019s correlation \u2013 USDT\u2019s correlation to the Bitcoin market cap, like Bitcoin doubles, USDT\u2019s probably going to double,\u201d said Jack Mallers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n    <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n    <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">    <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>    <\/span><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/news\/bitcoin-btc\/what-do-industry-leaders-think-of-michael-saylors-bitcoin-strategy-adam-back-paolo-ardoino-weigh-in\/\">What Do Industry Leaders Think Of Michael Saylor\u2019s Bitcoin Strategy?
