Satoshi Award 2025: Why Did Michael Saylor Win?Satoshi Award 2025: Why Did Michael Saylor Win?
DAT emerged as the defining theme of the crypto industry in 2025.
This year, the United States officially established a National Bitcoin Reserve, a landmark move that has fundamentally redefined Bitcoin’s legal and institutional standing.
Beyond sovereign nations, public companies have pivoted toward a new priority: the creation of Bitcoin and Ethereum “DAT Vaults.” This shift marks a transition where digital assets are no longer just speculative plays but core components of corporate balance sheets.
The 2025 “Man of the Year” is undoubtedly Michael Saylor. His company, MicroStrategy, now holds over 600,000 BTC — upwards of 3% of the total circulating supply. By championing an unwavering “never sell” philosophy, Saylor has single-handedly catapulted the influence of Bitcoin and the broader crypto industry to unprecedented heights within the global financial ecosystem.
