Since its initial foray into Bitcoin in August 2020, MicroStrategy has consistently increased its holdings, viewing bitcoin as a key component of its treasury strategy. The company’s executive chairman, Michael Saylor, has been a very big vocal advocate for Bitcoin, citing its potential to preserve purchasing power over time.
The company’s continued accumulation of Bitcoin highlights its confidence in Bitcoin’s ability to deliver superior returns compared to traditional investment assets. Last week, the business intelligence company considered itself “the world’s first #Bitcoin development company.”

With Bitcoin’s price coming close to previous all-time highs of $69,000, MicroStrategy’s decision to allocate a significant portion of its treasury reserves to BTC has paid off handsomely.
