Based on what Nasdaq-listed business intelligence company MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR) announced on Tuesday (August 2), the firm will have a new CEO as of August 8.
Merită să ne amintim că pe 11 august 2020, MicroStrategy a anunțat prin intermediul a comunicatul de presă că a „cumpărat 21,454 de bitcoin la un preț total de achiziție de 250 de milioane de dolari” pentru a fi folosit ca „activ principal de rezervă de trezorerie”.
Michael Saylor (cofondatorul, președintele și CEO-ul companiei) a spus la acea vreme:
Decizia noastră de a investi în Bitcoin în acest moment a fost determinată parțial de o confluență de factori macro care afectează peisajul economic și de afaceri, care credem că creează riscuri pe termen lung pentru programul nostru de trezorerie corporativă - riscuri care ar trebui abordate în mod proactiv.
De atunci, MicroStrategy a continuat să acumuleze Bitcoin, iar CEO-ul său a devenit unul dintre cei mai vocali susținători ai Bitcoin. Cea mai recentă achiziție de $BTC a MicroStrategy, despre care Saylor a scris pe Twitter pe 29 iunie, înseamnă că firma deține acum aproximativ 129,699 de bitcoini, care au fost „achiziționați pentru ~3.98 miliarde de dolari la un preț mediu de ~30,664 de dolari per bitcoin”.
Oricum, conform a raportează by CoinDesk, on Wednesday (July 27), Saylor, who is a self-confessed Bitcoin maximalist, spoke at a two-day crypto conference in Turkey — “Blockchain Economie Istanbul” — where he shared his thoughts on Ethereum.
Raportul CoinDesk a menționat că Saylor „a remarcat că vorbea ca un investitor instituțional și, în acest sens, ar trebui să aștepte până când protocolul este complet”. într-un discurs de săptămâna trecută, că Ethereum a terminat cu 40% și a stabilit o foaie de parcurs de trei până la patru ani, ceea ce înseamnă că „protocolul nu pare să fie finalizat sau stabil pentru încă 36 de luni”.
În ceea ce privește soliditatea Ethereum, Saylor a spus:
„Sunet tehnic” înseamnă că trebuie să văd funcția de protocol pentru acel lucru după aproximativ cinci până la 10 ani. Deci nu știm nici asta. Dreapta? Pentru că dacă ești greu de bifurcat și de a-l schimba, de fiecare dată când faci un upgrade mare, introduci noi suprafețe de atac...
""Din punct de vedere etic” înseamnă că trebuie să știu că nimeni nu ar putea schimba [protocolul], care include Vitalik. Trebuie să știu că nimeni de la fundația Ethereum, niciun individ nu poate schimba protocolul, pentru că dacă ar putea schimba protocolul, îl face o securitate și dacă o face o securitate, atunci nu vor deveni bani la nivel mondial.
On July 12, during an aspect on YouTube series “Nu sfaturi de investiții“, Saylor said that the basis for U.S. securities laws was the bible (more specifically, the Old Testament):
Most of the crypto industry, it just went, fast broke things, lacking adult supervision. Very entrepreneurial and that works until it doesn’t work anymore. It’s pretty clear it’s not working anymore. And the next decade, you’re gonna have to have lawyers and accountants. I know people are saying, ‘well, I guess Celsius should have disclosed what they were doing’. You know who discloses what they’re doing? Publicly traded companies…
Just keep in mind: the basis of securities laws are biblical; they go back thousands of years, I mean, Codul lui Hammurabi even. The basis of securities laws are ‘thou shalt not lie, cheat, or steal’. That’s the basis of the law. So saying ‘these are antiquated laws from 1933 that don’t apply to crypto’ that’s kind of a dead on arrival argument. The law is ‘don’t lie, cheat, or steal’. It’s just instantiated in different years and different places. And so, the future the industry is going to have to be based on an ethically sound foundation, a technically sound foundation, and an economically sound foundation.
And as you can tell, I think Bitcoin is economically, technically, and ethically sound. You’ve you’ve got a million reasons why. We could talk about it for thousands of hours. If you want to build a business in this industry, you need to be inspired by those three principles.
And the simple thing to do is just use Bitcoin as your token and then build on top of that monetary protocol and on top of that monetary asset, but if you’re not going to do that, you definitely have to think long and hard about the economic, ethical, and technical implications of what you’re doing.
This led Buterin to wonder out loud last Saturday (July 30) why Bitcoin maximalists like to choose as heroes “total clowns” like Michael Syalor:
Earlier today, MicroStrategy released its “T2 2022 Rezultate financiare“. The company’s comunicatul de presă about its latets quarterly earnings report announced that “as of August 8, 2022, Michael Saylor will assume the new role of Executive Chairman and Phong Le, the Company’s President, will also serve as the Company’s new Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board of Directors.” It also mentioned that “Mr. Saylor will remain the Chairman of the Board of Directors and an executive officer of the Company.”
The press release went on to say that “as Executive Chairman, Mr. Saylor will focus primarily on innovation and long-term corporate strategy, while continuing to provide oversight of the Company’s bitcoin acquisition strategy as head of the Board’s Investments Committee.”
Saylor had this to say about his new role at the company:
Cred că împărțirea rolurilor de președinte și CEO ne va permite să urmărim mai bine cele două strategii corporative de achiziționare și deținere de bitcoin și de dezvoltare a afacerii noastre de software de analiză pentru întreprinderi. În calitate de președinte executiv, mă voi putea concentra mai mult pe strategia noastră de achiziție de bitcoin și pe inițiativele de advocacy legate de bitcoin, în timp ce Phong va fi împuternicit ca CEO să gestioneze operațiunile corporative generale.
And Le stated:
I’m honored and excited to continue leading this truly innovative organization, as President & CEO. Our people and our brand carry incredible momentum. I would like to reinforce our commitment to our customers, shareholders, partners and employees, and I look forward to leading the organization for the long-term health and growth of our enterprise software and bitcoin acquisition strategies.
The press release also talked about “Operating Expenses” and “Loss from Operations and Net Loss” for Q2 2022:
- Costuri de operare: "Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2022 were $1.015 billion, a 96.5% increase compared to the second quarter of 2021. Operating expenses include impairment losses on MicroStrategy’s digital assets, which were $917.8 million during the second quarter of 2022, compared to $424.8 million in the second quarter of 2021.
- Loss from Operations and Net Loss: "Loss from operations for the second quarter of 2022 was $918.1 million, compared to $414.2 million for the second quarter of 2021. Net loss for the second quarter of 2022 was $1.062 billion, or $94.01 per share on a diluted basis, as compared to $299.3 million, or $30.71 per share on a diluted basis, for the second quarter of 2021. Digital asset impairment charges of $917.8 million and $424.8 million for the second quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively, were reflected in these amounts.
