The Bitcoin world is buzzing after MicroStrategy co-founder Michael Saylor publicly pitched podcaster Joe Rogan for a spot on The Joe Rogan Experience. The May 31 social media exchange has sparked speculation about what could become one of crypto's most watched interviews.
Saylor responded to a fan account's question about dream JRE guests with a direct appeal: "Hey @joerogan, let's talk about Bitcoin." The executive whose company holds 【580,250 BTC】 worth $60 billion doubled down on his public courtship of the podcast giant.
Crypto analyst Kook suggested Saylor might "Bitcoin pill" Rogan during such an appearance, while commentator Brandon MacDougal admitted this would mark his first time watching Rogan's show. The Bitcoin Therapist predicted the interview would "shatter the internet" if it materializes.
The UFC commentator has shown consistent interest in digital assets, telling OpenAI's Sam Altman in 2023: "The real fascinating crypto is Bitcoin...I think it has the most likely possibility of becoming universal viable currency." His podcast previously hosted Bitcoin educator Andreas Antonopoulos multiple times between 2014-2016 when BTC traded below $1,000.
——This existing crypto familiarity makes Rogan's platform particularly valuable for Bitcoin advocates—— Industry observers note his show's massive reach could introduce BTC concepts to millions of new potential investors.
Saylor recently addressed Bitcoin's price stagnation on the Coin Stories podcast, suggesting short-term sellers are being replaced by new long-term holders. His appearance on JRE could accelerate this transition by explaining Bitcoin's value proposition to Rogan's diverse audience.
The proposed conversation comes as MicroStrategy continues leading corporate Bitcoin adoption, with its holdings now representing approximately 【0.3%】 of BTC's total supply. Saylor's relentless advocacy positions him as perhaps the ideal spokesperson to make Bitcoin's case on one of podcasting's biggest stages.
While Rogan hasn't yet responded, the crypto community waits eagerly for what could become a watershed moment in Bitcoin's journey toward mainstream acceptance. As of press time, Bitcoin trades at $67,892 according to CoinGecko data.
