Odaily reported that Michael Saylor, founder and executive chairman of Bitcoin treasury company Strategy, posted that the U.S. stock market is closed today and volatility is unavoidable, but Bitcoin continues to run. The message follows Saylor’s long-standing Bitcoin-focused position and highlights the network’s continuous operation.
Bitcoin’s continuous operation contrasts with market closures
In the post, Saylor compared Bitcoin’s always-on structure with the closing mechanism of traditional financial markets. While U.S. equities stop trading during a market holiday or closure, Bitcoin does not depend on stock-market opening hours and continues to operate without interruption.
The core point of Saylor’s statement was not about a specific intraday price move, but about the difference between Bitcoin and traditional market infrastructure. As Strategy’s founder and executive chairman, he has consistently emphasized a long-term Bitcoin view. This latest post again focused on Bitcoin’s ability to keep running in any market environment, including when U.S. stocks are not trading.
