Saylor Minimizes Wall Street Impact on Bitcoin Volatility

Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor has downplayed concerns that Wall Street's increasing involvement in Bitcoin is impacting its price behavior and volatility. In a recent interview with Fox Business, Saylor stated that Bitcoin's volatility is actually on a downward trend. Despite Bitcoin's (BTC) recent price correction of nearly 12% over the past week, landing at $91,616 and eroding some of its gains in 2025, Saylor maintains a bullish outlook, emphasizing Bitcoin's strength.

Bitcoin Volatility Trending Downward Over Time

Saylor elaborated that when Strategy first began accumulating Bitcoin in 2020, the asset exhibited an annualized volatility of approximately 80%. Since then, this figure has steadily decreased to around 50%. He anticipates a further reduction of about 5 percentage points in Bitcoin's volatility every few years as the asset matures, eventually approaching a volatility level approximately 1.5 times that of the S&P 500 Index, while also offering “1.5 times better performance.”

Strategy's mNAV Affected by Price Decline

Strategy currently holds 649,870 Bitcoin, valued at $59.59 billion at the time of reporting, according to SaylorTracker. However, the company's mNAV multiple has decreased to 1.11x, down from around 1.52x when Bitcoin reached its all-time high of $125,100 on October 5th. Shares of Strategy (MSTR) often trade at a premium or discount relative to Bitcoin's price. In conjunction with the recent Bitcoin price slump, MSTR closed the trading day on Tuesday at $206.80, a decrease of 11.50% over the preceding five days, according to Google Finance.

Saylor Unconcerned About Major Bitcoin Downturn

Saylor expressed confidence that he would not be alarmed even if Bitcoin experienced a more significant price downturn. He stated that the company is structured to withstand an 80% to 90% drawdown and continue operating effectively. He further noted that the company's leverage is primarily in knowledge and that the level of 10 to 15% going toward zero right now, which is extremely robust. Veteran trader Peter Brandt, however, cautioned that Strategy could face significant challenges if his prediction of Bitcoin's chart mirroring the soybean bubble scenario of the 1970s proves accurate.
