Michael Saylor, the founder of MicroStrategy, has announced his intention to destroy his Bitcoin keys upon his death. He describes this action as a 'pro rata contribution to everyone in the world who owns Bitcoin,' aiming to make his Bitcoin holdings unsellable and thereby reducing the overall supply of Bitcoin. Saylor's plan aligns with the cryptocurrency's principles of digital scarcity and wealth redistribution. He believes that by rendering his keys inaccessible, the value of Bitcoin will increase due to reduced supply. In a recent video, he elaborated on this strategy, emphasizing its potential benefits for Bitcoin holders and the U.S. economy.
