As the business intelligence the firm, spends its cash on an everlasting valuable asset (BTC).
More so, the following week, MicroStrategy again spent another $100 million to its previous $400M to increase its BTC holdings. So, starting from December 2020 with an initial investment of $650 million for BTC purchase, MicroStrategy stands with huge pride holding a total of 108,992 BTC worth nearly $3 million.
