Michael Saylor: ChatGPT Helped Strategy Raise $15B; Key to the AI Era Is 'Harnessing Robots'

ChainCatcher report: According to Fortune magazine, Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Bitcoin treasury company Strategy, stated that AI is transforming the way wealth is created, and businesses and individuals should not compete with machines but instead leverage AI to amplify their own capabilities. In an interview, Saylor said he used ChatGPT to help Strategy design a preferred stock financing structure based on Bitcoin, ultimately enabling the company to raise approximately $15 billion through its IPO and related financings. He remarked, “AI helped me create $15 billion.” Saylor believes the core advantage in the AI era is not performing tasks machines can repeat, but asking better questions and using AI to explore new opportunities previously unattainable. “Don’t try to work harder than robots.” In recent years, Saylor has driven Strategy to allocate heavily into Bitcoin, transforming the company from a traditional software enterprise into a publicly traded company with Bitcoin as its core asset. Although this strategy carries significant risk, Saylor noted that major innovations often require enduring volatility and continuous course adjustments. He stated that future successful entrepreneurs will be those who combine AI with human creativity, not those who attempt to replace AI with their own labor.
