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.

The Mantra team has linked the recent drop in its OM

token to unexpected position closures by centralized exchanges (CEXs).

On April 13, the token’s value fell from around $6.30 to under $0.50, wiping out more than 90% of its market cap, which had reached about $6 billion.

Mantra’s co-founder, John Mullin, said in an April 14 post on X that the drop was not due to typical market movement but instead came from exchanges closing user positions without warning.

He described the actions as “reckless” and said they likely happened during a low-trading period—Sunday evening in UTC, which is early Monday in Asia. Mullin suggested this timing raised questions about how the exchanges handled the event.

Mullin said they suspect one exchange, in particular, may be responsible. He confirmed that it was not Binance

but did not name the platform.

Some traders said that Mantra might have used OM tokens to secure a large loan, which was liquidated when risk rules changed. Others have speculated that the price drop was a coordinated exit or “rug pull”.

Mullin rejected these claims, saying no loan was taken and the team had not removed any funds. He also noted that all team-held tokens were still locked according to the project’s release plan and that wallet activity remains open for review.
