Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor has publicly expressed interest in discussing Bitcoin on the world’s most-listened-to podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience.
“Hey @joerogan, let’s talk about Bitcoin,” Saylor said in a May 31 X post in response to a Joe Rogan fan account asking, “Who’s one guest you’d love to see Joe Rogan interview that he hasn’t had on yet?”
Saylor’s post triggered excitement among the Bitcoin community
Saylor’s post prompted speculation within the Bitcoin (BTC) community. Popular Bitcoiner, The Bitcoin Therapist, said, “This interview will shatter the internet.”
Crypto analyst Kook told their 164,200 X followers that “Saylor is going to Bitcoin pill Joe Rogan.” Meanwhile, crypto commentator Brandon MacDougal said, “For the first time ever, I’ll be watching a Joe Rogan podcast if Saylor is there.”
Rogan has frequently discussed crypto and Bitcoin on his podcast and has made several pro-Bitcoin comments over the years. In an October 2023 episode with OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman, Rogan said that Bitcoin fascinates him the most of all cryptocurrencies.
“The real fascinating crypto is Bitcoin. That’s the one that I think has the most likely possibility of becoming a universal viable currency. It’s limited in the amount that it can be,” Rogan said.
“I love the fact that it’s been implemented,” he added.
Although Rogan has yet to respond to Saylor’s post, featuring a guest from the Bitcoin industry wouldn’t be unfamiliar territory. Even in Bitcoin’s early days, Rogan gave the topic airtime on his podcast.
Between 2014 and 2016, Bitcoin entrepreneur Andreas Antonopoulos made several appearances on Rogan’s podcast when Bitcoin was still trading below $1,000.

Saylor’s firm Strategy, holds 580,250 Bitcoin, worth $60.47 billion, according to Saylor Tracker.
Saylor recently speculated why Bitcoin’s price is not yet $150,000. He said holders without a long-term outlook have been selling off while a new cohort of investors are beginning to enter the market.
“I think we’re going through a rotation right now,” Saylor said on the Coin Stories podcast with Natalie Brunell on May 9.
