Strategy Inc MSTR Chairman Michael Saylor used the classic DeLorean sports car and the science fiction film franchise “Back to the Future” to create a mashup and advocate for Bitcoin BTC/USD on Tuesday.

What Happened: Saylor is known for sharing AI-generated photos and videos of himself to advocate for the apex cryptocurrency.

His latest X post saw him wearing an orange puffer vest over a blue denim jacket, very similar to the costume donned by the protagonist of the 1985 film “Back to the Future.”

Behind Saylor was a DeLorean DMC-12, the car used as the time machine in the movie, with its gull-wing doors open. The car also had a Bitcoin logo.

“Once you all have bitcoin, I'll go back to the future,” Saylor wrote.

Interestingly, the official Shiba Inu SHIB/USD X account joined in, using the opportunity to promote their own ecosystem.

"Bitcoin may be digital gold, but SHIB is digital culture," Shiba Inu stated. "The future isn't just store of value… it's meme-fuelled, community-driven velocity."

Shiba Inu also highlighted their partnership with DeLorean Labs, the Web3 arm of the now-defunct DeLorean Motor Company. The two brands collaborated for a non-fungible token giveaway initiative last November.

"Deorean Labs is building the roads we race on," Shiba Inu added, hinting at a major collaboration.

Deorean Labs did not immediately respond to Benzinga's request for comment.

Why It Matters: DMC was an American car manufacturer founded by John DeLorean in 1975. It produced just one model, from early 1981 to late 1982—a slick, futuristic two-seater DeLorean sports car that was famous for its funky gull-wing doors. However, the vehicle ran into financial difficulties. The company went bankrupt in 1982 and ceased production after a brief period.

Italian automotive designer Giorgetto Giugiaro, who designed the DMC DeLorean that appeared in “Back to the Future,” has pointed out similarities in the brushed stainless-steel outer body panels with Tesla Inc’s TSLA Cybertruck.
