Michael Saylor Says Bitcoin’s Portability Helps Give It Value

Strategy founder Michael Saylor said he sees Bitcoin (BTC)’s portability as a source of value, giving holders options to change custodians or move the asset across jurisdictions as political conditions shift.

Speaking remotely at Oranje Summit 2026 in São Paulo on Nov. 5, Saylor said long-term assets should be durable and portable because political conditions can change. He used real estate and physical gold as contrasts, describing property as immovable and gold as cumbersome to transport.

Saylor said Bitcoin holders can take self-custody, switch custodians or move their assets to another jurisdiction. He described that ability to relocate as an option that less portable assets do not offer.
