Saylor Defends Public Bitcoin Advocacy as Protected Speech
Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor has reiterated his defense of public Bitcoin advocacy as protected speech under US law. He emphasizes that Americans can discuss and recommend Bitcoin ownership without needing a special license.
Saylor drew attention to existing laws prohibiting fraud and market manipulation involving digital assets, separating legitimate advocacy from unlawful activity.
His comments come amid debates over new rules for digital assets, as lawmakers prepare for a September 15 procedural vote concerning the CLARITY Act.
The legislation aims to clarify responsibilities among federal agencies overseeing digital asset markets. However, lawmakers still need to resolve several provisions before the bill can advance through the Senate.
