MicroStrategy načrtuje nov nakup BTC, ki se bo približal 500 milijonom dolarjev

As if MicroStrategy did not already own a ton of bitcoin, the software firm with stock shares trading for nearly $500 at the time of writing has announced it is looking to sell approximately $400 million worth of company debt so it can purchase more BTC units.

MicroStrategy želi kupiti več BTC

At press time, the company owns more than $2 billion in bitcoin, making it the biggest institutional bitcoin investor in the world. In second place is Tesla, which purchased roughly $1.5 billion worth of BTC last February. However, in many ways MicroStrategy has been the biggest marketer for the world’s number one digital currency by market cap.

Things began in August of last year – approximately ten months ago – when the company’s CEO Michael Saylor announced that the firm would be purchasing roughly $250 million worth of the asset. This was the first time in bitcoin’s short, 12-year history that a major institution was pledging support for bitcoin. In addition, it was the first time that an institution had bought so much of it.

From there, the currency took a nasty fall and dropped from around $12,000 per unit to roughly $10,000. For many other companies, they likely would have sold and cut their losses short, but MicroStrategy used the opportunity to purchase more bitcoin and add more than $100 million worth of bitcoin to its already giant stash. Thus, the company brought its overall BTC portfolio beyond the $400 mark. Since that day, MicroStrategy has engaged in regular purchases and seen its earnings grow beyond the $2 billion point, making this one of the biggest bitcoin success stories ever.

Dolg bo na voljo predvsem prek podjetja, znanega kot Jefferies Financial Group Inc.

Aside from just buying bitcoin and growing its balance sheet, MicroStrategy has taken a hard stance in trying to make bitcoin more accessible to others. Michael Saylor, for example, hosted a summit last February that sought to teach similar enterprises how they could begin investing in bitcoin and adding it to their own corporate stashes.

In addition, Saylor has recently joined forces with Elon Musk – the South African entrepreneur behind ventures like Tesla – to form the Bitcoin Mining Council. The purchase of the Council is to make data regarding energy use amongst the largest bitcoin mining corporations more transparent, as figures like Musk have expressed deep concerns in the past about the environmental impacts crypto extraction can allegedly cause.

Musk je izjavil, da želi izvedeti več o rabi zelene energije, s katero se ukvarjajo ta podjetja, da se bo uporaba bitcoinov lahko nadaljevala, ne da bi ogrožala Zemljino atmosfero.
