SkyBridge founder and former Trump advisor Anthony Scaramucci defended Michael Saylor in a post on X early Monday, dismissing predictions from earlier this summer that Strategy's Bitcoin-heavy balance sheet was headed toward liquidation. Scaramucci took aim at those who had publicly bet against Saylor's strategy, writing 'Not a billionaire but you should think about not being left behind' and 'I ride with Saylor.' The remarks place Scaramucci firmly on one side of an ongoing debate over whether Strategy's debt-funded Bitcoin accumulation model can withstand periods of sharp price weakness.
Scaramucci Defends Saylor on X
In his post on X early Monday, Scaramucci framed the moment as a test of conviction rather than a vindication of the bears. He wrote, 'Not a billionaire but you should think about not being left behind,' directly addressing those who had predicted Strategy would face liquidation pressures.
Scaramucci went further, posing a pointed question to the market: how many people will later claim credit for having capitalized on the 'Michael Saylor is going to get liquidated' narrative that circulated in early summer 2026.
He closed his post with a simple statement of allegiance: 'I ride with Saylor.' The remark places him squarely on one side of a public debate over whether Strategy's debt-funded Bitcoin accumulation model is sustainable through periods of sharp price weakness.
Scaramucci has repeatedly argued that periods of maximum pessimism tend to mark turning points rather than confirmations of deeper structural problems, a framework he has applied to Bitcoin's price action broadly in recent weeks.
His comments arrive against a backdrop of renewed scrutiny over Strategy's balance sheet, with several market voices questioning whether the company's debt structure could come under strain if Bitcoin's price stayed depressed for an extended period.
Strategy Faced Similar Scrutiny in 2022
Liquidation concerns are not new territory for Saylor or Strategy. The company has weathered similarly intense scrutiny during past Bitcoin drawdowns, including a stretch in 2022 when its debt briefly exceeded the combined value of its Bitcoin and cash holdings.
Whether the early-summer 2026 predictions prove similarly premature remains to be seen, but Scaramucci's message is unambiguous: he is not betting against Saylor.
