Michael Saylor is one of the Bitcoin community’s most well-known figures, an executive whose gravitational pull on the culture is such that his mere secondhand mention preceded his first actual appearance in canon by weeks. His signature declaration — “there is no second best” — applies to Bitcoin, and apparently to strip clubs.

Arc history

Saylor’s first indirect canon appearance was as a thumbnail: Simply Bitcoin’s planned post-hyperbitcoinization pivot included worries over their reliance on Saylor imagery (January 2023). His first speaking appearance came in March 2023, joining the performer roster of Lyn Alden‘s Bitcoin-themed strip club UTXHoes: “Bitcoin is all about innovation and disrupting traditional industries. UTXHoes is a perfect example of that. I’m honored to be a part of it and I know there will be no second best” (New Bitcoin Themed Strip Club To Open In Miami).

Featured dancer Bekka suggested unfinished history between them: “Maybe Saylor will realize what he missed out on.”

Maxi Madness

Saylor is Maxi Madness‘s perennial nearly-man. In 2024 he made the Final Four (losing to eventual champion Yellow, to whom he delivered the immortal “don’t underestimate the power of a yellow cat” — BTP ep. 11 @ 41:50) and intervened in the second round by publicly voting to help Bekka complete her overnight comeback against Magoo — who responded “CIA rigs another election,” the hosts noting Saylor’s headquarters literally borders CIA headquarters (ep. 2). In 2025 he reached the championship, “even considered changing his name to Mikey Bitcoins for a chance to win” (ep. 53 @ 23:28), and “sent his simps to the polls and still lost” to Teddy Bitcoins (victory spaces @ 19:19). In 2026, Uncle Rockstar “shocked the world” by eliminating him before the Sweet 16 (ep. 102).

irl: Michael Saylor is the real executive chairman of MicroStrategy (later Strategy), famous for corporate Bitcoin accumulation and the catchphrase “there is no second best.” The strip-club performance and quote are invented.
