MicroStrategy co-founder and executive chairman Michael Saylor has stated that he is willing to provide advisory support to President-elect Donald Trump on crypto matters if asked. Saylor confirmed that he has met with many people in the incoming Trump administration but declined to provide further details. This announcement comes as MicroStrategy prepares to join the Nasdaq-100 alongside Palantir Technologies and Axon Enterprise. However, the company's large Bitcoin holdings may jeopardize its index position, as it could be reclassified as a financial company in a March review. Saylor addressed these concerns and asserted that the company's software division generates significant operating income. MicroStrategy has been acquiring large amounts of Bitcoin and aims to reach a $42 billion acquisition target by January 2025. Saylor mentioned that the company expects to raise capital through fixed-income markets in the future. MicroStrategy's inclusion in the S&P 500 seems unlikely due to profitability requirements, but upcoming changes in financial reporting standards may improve the company's chances. Saylor expressed optimism about future prospects and expects significant investment income in the coming years.
