Michael Saylor responds to community criticism: Bitcoin benefits from different forms of investment from various entities and should welcome everyone

MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor has attempted to clarify his comments that big banks should have custody of Bitcoin following a backlash from the cryptocurrency community.

“I support self-custody for those willing and able, the right of all to self-custody, and the freedom of individuals and institutions around the world to choose the form of custody and custodian of their choice,” Saylor said in an Oct. 23 post on X. At the same time, he suggested that Bitcoin holders should entrust their assets to “too big to fail” banks that are “designed to be custodians of financial assets.”
In a recent interview, Saylor also accused “paranoid crypto-anarchists” of trolling the crypto community, comments that have been criticized by crypto industry figures including Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin.
In response, Saylor clarified in a post on X: “Bitcoin benefits from all forms of investment from all kinds of entities and should be welcoming to all.”
VanEck consultant Gabor Gurbacs said this should not be a controversial position, its just common sense.
Meanwhile, Dash marketer Joel Valenzuela said it was a gesture of capitulation, adding that Saylor showed his true colors.
Max Keiser commented: “Recent comments by (Saylor) attacking self-custody demonstrate a retrogressive move in favor of the traditional, centralized banking crooks that Bitcoin fixes.”

“I’ve been to Washington a lot more in the last few years than I did in previous years, and looking back, I regret that,” Garlinghouse said at Washington Fintech Week on Oct. 23. “I think it was a mistake that we didn’t prepare sooner, and we’re trying to make up for lost time.”
It also stated that the United States is lagging behind in cryptocurrency regulation compared to other countries or regions, accused U.S. SEC Chairman Gary Gensler of launching a reign of terror on the industry, and accused Senator Elizabeth Warren of spreading misinformation about cryptocurrencies.
