Speaking on the matter, Saylor said:
The Company remains focused on our two corporate strategies of growing our enterprise analytics software business and acquiring and holding bitcoin. […] The company now holds over 90,000 bitcoins, reaffirming our belief that bitcoin, as the world’s most widely-adopted cryptocurrency, can serve as a dependable store of value. We will continue to pursue our strategy of acquiring bitcoin with excess cash and we may from time to time, subject to market conditions, issue debt or equity securities in capital raising transactions with the objective of using the proceeds to purchase additional bitcoin.
- The move was somewhat expected. As CryptoPotato reported earlier in February, the company revealed its price to offer convertible senior notes to raise money and buy Bitcoin.
