Michael Saylor, the co-founder and executive chairman of MicroStrategy, has begun meeting with sovereign wealth funds across the Middle East to discuss Bitcoin. These meetings come at a time when several regional governments are expanding their interest in digital assets and exploring new investment structures linked to blockchain technology.
Saylor’s Meetings With Regional Funds on Bitcoin
Michael Saylor has promoted Bitcoin to global investors for years. Speaking at the Bitcoin MENA 2025 conference, held in Abu Dhabi, Saylor said he now aims to communicate directly with state-owned funds that manage large reserves. These funds control national wealth, and they often shape long-term strategies that influence many markets. He says his goal is to show how Bitcoin can work as a durable asset.
Moreover, Saylor believes the scale of these funds could draw more attention to Bitcoin. During an interview with Saudi National Television in May 2025, he pointed to Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, which holds more than $930 billion. He said such a fund “could grow a thousandfold” if it added Bitcoin.
The firm recently shared its Strategy Tracker chart, which displays 88 recorded purchase events. The chart shows holdings of about 650,000 BTC with a portfolio value near $57.8 billion. The company’s average purchase price is listed at $74,436. Saylor posted the chart with the caption “Back to Orange Dots?” which often signals another round of accumulation.
Regional Interest and Broader Market Context
The Middle East has increased its focus on digital assets through new rules in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Governments are reviewing new assets as they plan for economic change. Saylor’s meetings add to this trend as sovereign funds consider whether Bitcoin may operate alongside assets like gold.
Bitcoin may see stronger institutional adoption once there is greater clarity on asset rules, custody structures, and investment standards. Participation of sovereign wealth funds would likely lead to greater market stability and a reduction in Bitcoin’s long-term volatility.
In addition, Michael Saylor continues to support Bitcoin as a durable form of capital. Strategy’s consistent purchases, including a recent 10,624 BTC for $962.7 million addition during a period of market stress, reflect the company’s long-term approach. As meetings in the Middle East continue, global investors are watching to see whether sovereign funds explore new entry points into the Bitcoin market.
