On May 29, 2025, U.S. time, Michael Saylor, CEO of Strategy, delivered a keynote speech titled "21 Ways to Wealth" at the Bitcoin 2025 Conference.
He stated: I have traveled around the world, telling countries and institutional investors why they need Bitcoin. Bitcoin belongs to everyone, every family, and every small business. It belongs to everyone. Bitcoin is not a get-rich-quick scam, but the ultimate long-term investment. Bitcoin is the cornerstone of generational wealth, the engine of personal and institutional freedom, and a tool for those courageous enough to lead humanity towards a more autonomous and safer future.
The first is clarity. When you realize that Bitcoin is capital - perfect capital, programmable capital, immaculate capital - clarity comes. Every thinking person on Earth will ultimately pursue this pure capital, and every AI system will favor it.
The second is conviction. Bitcoin's appreciation rate will exceed all other assets because it was designed for high returns. "Its growth will surpass real estate or collectibles. It is the most effective store of value in human history."
The third is courage. "If you want to get rich with Bitcoin, you need courage" "Wealth favors those brave enough to take on smart currency risks. Some will fall behind, some will thrive. But the brave will forge ahead - sell your bonds, buy Bitcoin. An extraordinary value explosion is imminent."
The fourth is cooperation. You will be stronger with full family support. Your children have time and potential. The secret is transferring capital to their hands. A united family is unstoppable.
The fifth is capability. Master AI. By 2025, everything you can imagine - wisdom, analysis, creativity - will be within reach. Ask AI, debate with it, utilize it. You can become a super genius. Don't put self-esteem first, put your interests first.
The sixth is composition. Establish legal entities that can expand your strategy and protect your assets. This year, everyone should operate like the most sophisticated multi-family office. Ask AI, it can help you find answers. You can work hard or work smartly.
The seventh is citizenship. Carefully choose your economic connections - select a sovereign state that respects your freedom of residence, which matters not just this year, but for this century.
The eighth is civilization. Respect the world's natural power structures. Respect natural forces. If you want to create wealth in the Bitcoin world, avoid unnecessary conflicts. Find common ground. Inflation and disruption are your enemies.
The ninth is company. Well-structured companies are the most powerful wealth engines on Earth. The power of family is immense, and the power of partnerships is even more so. But companies can achieve global expansion. What are your tools? What is your path?
The tenth is focus. Being able to do something doesn't mean you should. If you invest in Bitcoin, your chances of success within five years are as high as 90%. Don't confuse ambition with achievement. Develop a strategy and stick to it.
The eleventh is equity. Share your opportunities with investors willing to share risks. MicroStrategy's own market value soared from $10 million to $5 billion, thanks to equity partners who believed in the Bitcoin mission.
The twelfth is credit. Some people in the world fear the future - they want meager returns and certainty. Provide these. Offer security to creditors through capital returns. Transform their fear into motivation and risk into returns through Bitcoin investment.
The thirteenth is compliance. Build the best company you can within market rule frameworks. Learn traffic rules. If you understand these rules, you can drive faster. You can expand legally and sustainably.
The fourteenth is capitalization. Speed appreciates wealth. Raise and reinvest capital as quickly and frequently as possible. The faster your funds are invested in efficient Bitcoin strategies, the faster they appreciate.
The fifteenth is communication. Speak honestly, act transparently, and frequently repeat your message. Creating wealth with Bitcoin is simple - provided people understand what you're doing and why.
The sixteenth is commitment. Don't distract yourself, don't chase your own ideas. Don't feed internet trolls. Stay committed to Bitcoin. It's the world's greatest idea. The world might not care how you think - but it will when you succeed.
The seventeenth is ability. You're not competing with noise - you're competing with a focused, perfectly executing person. You must provide consistently precise and reliable performance. That's the winning strategy.
The eighteenth is adaptation. Environments change instantly. Every system you trust today will ultimately collapse. Wise people will be ready to discard baggage and adjust plans when necessary. Rigidity only brings destruction.
The nineteenth is evolution. Consolidate your core strengths. You don't need to start from scratch - you need continuous upgrades. Fully utilize your existing advantages and expand them through Bitcoin and advanced technologies.
The twentieth is advocacy. Encourage others to follow the Bitcoin path, become spreaders of economic freedom. Show others the true meaning of this revolution. Guide their direction.
The twenty-first is generosity. When you succeed - and you will succeed - spread happiness. Share security. Transmit hope. Your inner light will shine. Others will be attracted to it.
Finally, Saylor's speech concluded with a quote from Satoshi Nakamoto:
"If Bitcoin becomes popular, it might be worth buying some." - Satoshi Nakamoto
The next sentence following Satoshi Nakamoto's quote that Saylor cited is: If enough people think this way, it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
