Saylor's 953-Hour Reading Program Reveals Intellectual Foundations of His Bitcoin Obsession

Michael Saylor, CEO of Strategy and prominent Bitcoin investor, has revealed his extensive reading program to train leaders on Bitcoin. The curriculum consists of 38 works, totaling an estimated 953 hours, covering various themes such as history, economics, war, technology, and Bitcoin itself.

The books chosen for the program include classics like 'The Story of Civilization' by Will and Ariel Durant, 'Guns, Germs, and Steel' by Jared Diamond, and 'The Bitcoin Standard' by Saifedean Ammous. Saylor's approach emphasizes that understanding Bitcoin requires a mastery of traditional systems.

His massive investments in BTC have made Strategy one of the largest holders of the asset, but this has raised questions about his objectivity. Detractors point out a potential conflict of interest due to his company's exposure to BTC. However, Saylor's commitment to Bitcoin has strengthened his credibility in the crypto community.

The program reflects Saylor's conviction that Bitcoin is the logical outcome of economic and technological systems' evolution. His optimistic predictions for BTC, such as a price target of $7 million, have not been guaranteed.
