Microstrategy has been a stagnant company for years, with respect to revenue, profits and market capitalisation. That suddenly changed when Michael Saylor started to use his company's immense cash reserves to dive into Bitcoin. He doubled down with further debt offerings and stock sales, with the express intent to acquire even more Bitcoin.
Starting August 2020 Microstrategy has bought in aggregate 129'218 BTC at a total cost of $3,967 billion for an average price of $30'700.
Although Bitcoin has fallen 56% from its all time high at $69'000 to now $30'518, Saylor has only lost $24 million on his total stake.
