Noting that he studied both Bitcoin and gold, he gave a summary of his observation:
“…Given the fact that Bitcoin is an infinitely hard asset, whereas gold can be produced by human beings given enough incentive, I realized that over the long term, Bitcoin is the harder asset than gold.”

In addition, Saylor said no amount of investment in Bitcoin mining can lead to more of the digital coin production.
