What Does Michael Saylor Mean By – Crypto Renaissance? 

MicroStrategy has been steadily buying Bitcoin over the past months. Recently, on November 20, the firm made yet another 51,780 BTC purchase adding to its total 331K holdings. Moreover, the firm and its founder have drawn immense market attention within the realm of institutional Bitcoin adoption. 

Michael Saylor refers to the rapid crypto adoption that can be seen materializing in the recent month. With the largest crypto asset nearing the $100K milestone, it has created a lot of FOMO among investors in the financial sector. 

Subsequently, they have now begun getting into the market. This has further increased the necessity for several advancements and regulatory clarity which the US government and regulatory bodies such as the SEC are currently obliging. This, referred to by Saylor as the Crypto Renaissance has thrown a positive light within the community.
