Top Tesla Bull Says He Is Done With Bitcoin Due to Saylor

Ross Gerber, a prominent Tesla bull and longtime Bitcoin investor, has stated that he no longer takes Bitcoin seriously due to the involvement of Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor.

“Saylor kinda makes me over Bitcoin. Hard to take it seriously anymore,” Gerber said in a recent post on X.

Gerber has repeatedly attacked Strategy’s use of debt and capital-market transactions that are used to buy more $BTC.

More recently, Saylor came under fire after Strategy started selling $BTC.

“Unlike Saylor. I've never sold my bitcoin,” Gerber wrote on Aug. 4.

He also questioned Strategy’s approach, writing: “Interesting... So do as I say, not what my public company does... after all, buying Bitcoin high and selling low is a 'company'? This thing is unraveling like the sand castle that it is.”

In July, he accused the Bitcoin advocate of helping to undermine the asset he has spent years promoting. “LOL. At some point this whole joke will end… amazing the guys who built bitcoin are the same ones destroying it,” Gerber wrote on July 12 in response to one of Saylor’s Bitcoin posts.

He also questioned Strategy’s business model in late June, asking: "The Strategy is to sell low in desperation? Is Saylor's silly Bitcoin gig finally up?"

Earlier in June, Gerber also linked Bitcoin's underperformance to Saylor's influence on the market.

"Saylor says he'll never sell bitcoin. Then rug pulls the market. It goes lower. Creating the negative cycle of liquidation of all the speculators," Gerber wrote. "All because the big players are so greedy they can't seem to steal enough when times are good."

Gerber was already involved with Bitcoin by at least 2018. In December 2018, he wrote that he had not sold his crypto and did not intend to.

In a 2021 interview, Gerber said he had watched Bitcoin and Ethereum for roughly seven years. That would put his involvement around 2014.

As reported by U.Today, the American investor previously said that he viewed it as an inflation hedge and a form of digital gold.

In March 2025, however, Business Insider reported that Gerber had sold most of his Bitcoin holdings and put some of the proceeds into gold.
