Looking Into Microstrategy’s Involvement
Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy is a prominent name in the cryptocurrency industry. The firm has poured in more than $27 billion in the world’s largest cryptocurrency since establishing Bitcoin as its principal Treasury reserve asset in 2020. This further pushed its stock price upwards. The company’s shares have increased by over 600% in the last year. As a result, MicroStrategy has emerged as Strive’s key investment target.
Further speaking about Bitcoin, Strive wrote in a recent post,
“Since our inception, Strive has called out the long-term investment risks caused by the global fiat debt crisis, inflation, and geopolitical tensions. We strongly believe there is no better long-term investment to hedge against these risks than thoughtful exposure to Bitcoin.”
Amidst this, Bitcoin was priced at $99,603.53 after a 1.23% rise over the past 24 hours.
