Michael Saylor, a vocal Bitcoin evangelist and a co-founder of the now-famous BTC treasury company Strategy, has once again made an attempt to tie Bitcoin to American mass pop culture, publishing an attention-grabbing tweet.
Saylor has once again added two big Easter Eggs to his Bitcoin-themed tweet, in which he often quotes famous movies or people that have become part of the American mass culture.
In his latest X post, Saylor published an AI-generated image, which depicts him similar to the character of John Nash, the Nobel Prize winner, played by Russel Crowe in the popular movie “A Beautiful Mind”. In that film, Nash loved making calculations using windows as a blackboard to write on with chalk. Here, Saylor is simply writing math formulas on an old-fashioned blackboard and is wearing glasses similar to Crowe’s character.
The caption to the tweet says “Just Basic Maths” (with the B having two vertical strokes, symbolizing Bitcoin) and wearing a BTC symbol on his chest as a medallion. By “basic math,” Saylor could mean two things. The first one is the foundation of Bitcoin, which, as Elon Musk pointed out in one of his interviews, even quantum computers will hardly be able to crack.
The second meaning could be the reference to Strategy’s BTC strategy of constant accumulation, holding, issuing more convertible debt, and buying, holding again.
Last week, Saylor referenced the classic Wachowski movie “The Matrix” in his tweet, saying that tickets to get out of the Matrix are priced in Bitcoin. His other recent pop culture Bitcoin references include visionary Steve Jobs and Superman.
On Thursday, in one of his X posts, Saylor shared an infographic of returns earned by top companies, including his Strategy, and leading assets.
Strategy outperformed everything on that list, so far having made 169% in year returns. Next came Bitcoin (76%), Elon Musk’s Tesla (67%), gold (44%), and Zuckerberg’s Meta (39%). Nvidia, Amazon, Microsoft, S&P 500, and Apple were also on that returns list. Apple went into the red zone by returns, together with Google.
As for Strategy, after the recent acquisition of 245 BTC, its holdings have increased to a total of 592,345 Bitcoins worth $63,430,968,152 at the current BTC/USD exchange rate.
