MicroStrategy's Bitcoin Strategy Faces New Rival as Saylor Predicts 30% Annual BTC Growth
MicroStrategy (formerly Strategy), led by Michael Saylor, has resumed its Bitcoin buying spree and anticipates a 30% annual price increase for BTC over the next two decades. This comes as a new competitor, Strive, emerges with its SATA preferred stock, positioning it as a daily-dividend Bitcoin treasury product. Strive's SATA aims to be a higher-yield alternative to MicroStrategy's STRC, signaling growing competition in the market for Bitcoin-backed investment vehicles and further institutional interest in the asset class.
MicroStrategy Resumes Bitcoin Purchases, Saylor Bullish on BTC
Strategy, the world's largest Bitcoin Treasury, has recommenced its weekly BTC buying following a brief pause ahead of its May 5 earnings call. Founder Michael Saylor has expressed a highly optimistic outlook, predicting that Bitcoin's price will appreciate by 30% annually for the next 20 years. This strategic move and forecast underscore MicroStrategy's continued commitment to accumulating Bitcoin and its strong conviction in the cryptocurrency's long-term growth trajectory.
Strive Introduces SATA as a Rival Bitcoin Treasury Product
In a developing market, Strategy's investment products are now facing competition. Strive is actively promoting its SATA preferred stock as a daily-dividend Bitcoin treasury product. This new offering is being positioned as a higher-yield, faster-paying alternative to MicroStrategy's STRC, particularly as STRC recently experienced record trading activity. Strive announced that SATA will commence paying cash dividends daily from June 16, 2026, while maintaining an annualized yield of 13.00%. This competition highlights the increasing institutional interest and diversification of investment options available for exposure to Bitcoin.
