Not finance expert and trying to understand the importance of Saylor’s MSTR strategy - slowly getting there through listening yo lots of people who do understand - thx to everyone who is helping explain.
Linked it to another innovator who changed everything in his (track &) field. Interested in feedback - is this a valid comparison:
"Raising the Bar or Destined to Flop?"
In 1968, Dick Fosbury stunned the world by flipping the high jump on its head—literally. By going over the bar backwards, he defied conventional techniques, unlocking new heights through a counterintuitive approach to physics and biomechanics. Critics initially scoffed, calling it awkward and risky. But after Fosbury's gold medal win at the Mexico City Olympics, the Flop quickly became the standard, reshaping the sport forever.
Fast forward to today, Michael Saylor is doing something equally revolutionary in corporate finance. His "accretive dilution" strategy at MicroStrategy rewrites the rules of treasury management, prioritizing Bitcoin accumulation over traditional capital reserves. By issuing convertible debt and raising equity, Saylor transforms potential dilution into exponential value, measured not in dollars but in Bitcoin yield—how many BTC the company holds per share. Like Fosbury, Saylor’s approach flips conventional wisdom, challenging entrenched norms and capturing the attention of the financial world.
The parallel? Both Fosbury and Saylor saw playing fields constrained by outdated frameworks. Fosbury redefined what it meant to jump higher. Saylor redefines what it means to create shareholder value. Just as the Fosbury Flop became the standard for high jump, Saylor's Bitcoin-centric financial engineering could establish a new blueprint for corporate treasuries in the digital age.
The lesson: innovation doesn’t just improve performance—it changes the game entirely. Whether it’s clearing the bar or building balance sheets, a fresh perspective is often what takes you higher.
