Companies should buy Bitcoin because bonds are “toxic,” according to MicroStrategy Inc. co-founder and Chairman Michael Saylor.

Saylor compared returns in Bitcoin and bonds since 2020, noting that the cryptoasset has gone up since the company adopted its Bitcoin-buying strategy while bonds have declined, according to a slide in his presentation at the ICR Conference in Orlando on Monday.
