Bankless Take
Michael Saylor has been one of Bitcoin’s most vocal proponents since MicroStrategy began accumulating BTC in August 2020. With Bitcoin hitting new all-time highs, Saylor’s strategy is paying off big time.
Now, other firms are taking notice and jumping in. While it’s exciting to see more companies embracing BTC, crypto’s volatility can’t be ignored. These holdings could soar or struggle depending on market dynamics. This will certainly be a thread to watch going forward as the corporate BTC race continues to intensify.
