Michael Saylor, the visionary co-founder of MicroStrategy, sees considerable potential for bitcoin adoption in France. This statement follows a meeting with MEP Sarah Knafo over lunch where they discussed the future of cryptos and energy.
Bitcoin, a strategic opportunity for France
Michael Saylor, emblematic figure of the crypto world and CEO of MicroStrategy, spoke with Sarah Knafo to explore the prospects of bitcoin in France. During this business lunch, discussions focused on Bitcoin and energy. On her X account, the MP called Saylor a“brilliant entrepreneur“, thus saluting his vision for the French financial future.
Following this meeting, Saylor published a message on X encouraging France to “ use more bitcoin“, part of its overall strategy to promote cryptos. This position reflects the investment policy of MicroStrategy, which actively pursues the accumulation of BTC in its treasury.
Saylor’s interest in the French market is strategic, with France having established itself as a major hub for financial innovation in Europe. The country demonstrated its leadership by becoming the first major economy in the European Union to establish a clear regulatory framework for cryptos, an initiative that is now inspiring its European neighbors.
A vision aligned with global trends
In December 2024, Sarah Knafo defended the creation of national bitcoin reserves before the European Parliament, echoing American discussions on the establishment of a similar strategic reserve.
This initiative is gaining ground in Europe, notably with the support of Christian Lindner, former German Finance Minister, who advocates the integration of bitcoin into the reserves of Germany and the ECB.
-Michael Saylor continues his evangelization of Bitcoin to large companies. Despite Microsoft’s rejection of its proposal to allocate 1% of its treasury in bitcoin at the shareholders’ meeting in December 2023, the institutional adoption movement is gaining momentum.
In short, institutional adoption of bitcoin is gaining momentum, with several states already expressing interest in integrating crypto into their strategic reserves. This movement could intensify with the United States, where the Trump administration, which takes office tomorrow, January 20, could consider storing BTC.
