According to PANews, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has firmly denied rumors about planning a $600 million wedding with fiancée Lauren Sanchez in Aspen, Colorado. Bezos labeled these claims as entirely fictional. The denial has garnered support from several billionaires, including Tesla founder Elon Musk, who humorously wished Bezos a grand wedding in the future. Bill Ackman, CEO of Pershing Square, also dismissed the wedding rumors as "unbelievable."
Amid the speculation, MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor shifted the conversation by joking that $600 million could buy a lot of Bitcoin. This development follows a proposal from Amazon shareholders encouraging the company to invest at least 5% of its assets in Bitcoin (BTC), mirroring a similar suggestion recently made to Microsoft.
Saylor's comments highlight the ongoing efforts to integrate Bitcoin into mainstream financial discussions, using popular events to emphasize its investment potential. While Bezos laughed off the wedding gossip, Saylor seized the opportunity to spotlight Bitcoin's promising future as an alternative asset.
