In a<a href="https://twitter.com/saylor/status/1754976122607980726" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> post</a> on social media platform X, Saylor confirmed that his company had acquired 850 BTC, and now MicroStrategy holds 190,000 BTC. Further, in an earnings<a href="https://microstrategy.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ugA0ofpdTvKIw6m4ng3sVQ#/registration" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> call</a> on Tuesday, the company’s chief financial officer, Andrew Kang, highlighted its commitment to Bitcoin.&nbsp;

MicroStrategy also posted a net income of 89.1 million while suffering from losses worth $249.7 million in the year prior.

The company has<a href="https://thecoinrise.com/microstrategys-bitcoin-bag-turns-green-as-btc-briefly-hits-30k/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> witnessed significant gains over the past few months</a> after Bitcoin broke above the $30,000 price level in early 2023. The digital asset sector celebrated the fact while Saylor stepped down as CEO of the company he founded.&nbsp;
<h2 id="span-style-font-weight-400-2024-is-a-good-year-for-bitcoin-span">2024 is a Good Year for Bitcoin</h2>
Saylor stated that 2024 will be the year when Bitcoin adoption skyrockets, while adding that the performance shown by BTC in 2023 could be attributed to investors recognizing the broader theme of a “digital transformation” of assets.
“2024 is the year of the birth of Bitcoin as an institutional-grade asset class, in fact, it’s the first new asset class of the modern era,” said Saylor while noting:
<blockquote>
 “The next 15 years will be a regulated, institutional, high growth period for Bitcoin, very different from the last 15 years.”
