Michael Saylor Sparks Outrage with Kidney Joke Amid Bitcoin Crash

Bitcoin's dramatic plunge below $80,000 has ignited chaos in the crypto world, and none other than Michael Saylor is at the center of the storm—again. The former MicroStrategy CEO, known for his unshakable Bitcoin evangelism, sent shockwaves through X (formerly Twitter) with a controversial remark:

"Sell a kidney if you must, but keep the Bitcoin."

The internet wasted no time in roasting him. Some initially assumed the post came from a parody account—only to realize, to their horror, that it was very real.

"Saylor’s out here trying to have people sell their kidneys so his investors don’t take both of his and feed him to the fishes," one user quipped.

This isn’t the first time Saylor has faced backlash for reckless financial advice. In 2021, he urged people to mortgage their homes to buy Bitcoin when it was around $57,000. Those who followed his advice saw their investments crater during the 2022 crash—but Saylor never wavered, defending his stance with the same conviction he has now.

Is MicroStrategy in Trouble?

Saylor’s Bitcoin obsession has turned MicroStrategy into the ultimate BTC whale, with nearly 500,000 BTC on its books. But with the recent bloodbath in the market, concerns are rising. The company’s average buy-in price sits at $66,350, meaning if Bitcoin keeps plummeting, MSTR stock could take a serious hit.

Despite the panic, analysts like Vetle Lunde of K33 Research believe the fear is overblown. He argues that MicroStrategy is still “years away” from being a forced seller, dismissing worries over their entry price as “just noisy engagement material.”

For now, Saylor remains unfazed, doubling down on his Bitcoin maximalism. But as the market teeters on the edge, one question remains: Will his empire withstand the storm, or is areckoning coming?
