PANews reported on December 23 that according to Bitcoin.com, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has attracted widespread attention for his firm denial that he and his fiancée Lauren Sanchez planned to hold a $600 million wedding in Aspen, Colorado. He made it clear that these rumors were pure fiction. In response, a number of billionaires, including Tesla founder Musk, expressed their support for Bezos. Musk even jokingly wished Bezos a grand wedding in the future, while Pershing Square CEO Bill Ackman directly refuted the rumors of a $600 million wedding, calling it "unreliable." However, while everyone was discussing it, MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor cleverly changed the subject. He joked: "$600 million can buy a lot of Bitcoin."
The development comes on the heels of a proposal by Amazon shareholders to encourage the company to invest at least 5% of its assets in Bitcoin (BTC), which coincides with a similar proposal recently made to Microsoft. Saylor's comments once again highlight the ongoing efforts to bring Bitcoin into mainstream financial discussions and use popular events to highlight its investment potential. While Bezos laughed off the wedding gossip, Saylor took the opportunity to turn the focus to Bitcoin's broad prospects as an alternative asset.
