Yet, during a recent earnings call, Saylor revealed that the company is ready to do the unthinkable: sell portions of its massive Bitcoin treasury. Now, Saylor is setting the record straight in a new interview, claiming that the company will still end up buying way more Bitcoin if it sells some. “Never sell”? Saylor recently acknowledged his own role in creating the hysteria. “I’m very famous for saying never sell your Bitcoin,”…
