PRESALE

<div class="insidebitcoins">
 MicroStrategy, the largest publicly traded holder of Bitcoin, bought another $37 million worth of BTC in January to bring its total holdings to $8.1 billion.
 The company said in its its fourth quarter earnings call on Feb. 6 that it acquired another 850 BTC in January and now holds a total of 190,000 Bitcoin.
 “2024 is the year of the birth of Bitcoin as an institutional-grade asset class,” said executive chairman Michael Saylor in the call. “It’s the first new asset class of the modern era. The next 15 years will be a regulated, institutional, high growth period for Bitcoin, very different from the last 15 years.”

 MicroStrategy’s chief financial officer, Andrew Kang, also said the company bought a total of 56,650 BTC in 2023 at an average price of $33,580.

 The company also posted a net income of $89.1 million last year, compared to a $249.7 million loss recorded in 2022. Saylor attributed the 2023 performance to investors recognizing the broader theme of a “digital transformation” of assets.
 Saylor expects the allocation in BTC to continue to pay off following the introduction of spot Bitcoin ETFs (exchange-traded funds) in the U.S. This is a “catalytic moment” in transitioning BTC from a medium of exchange to a store of value, he said.

 “We don’t need to address any of the currency criticisms anymore,” he added. “Simply as a store of value, there’s no reason Bitcoin can’t continue to outperform and 100X from where it is right now.”
 MicroStrategy became the first publicly traded company to purchase Bitcoin as a strategic investment in December 2020. Since then, the company’s share price has climbed more than 300%, allowing it to outperform major tech stocks such as Microsoft and Google, which saw gains of slightly less than 100% during the same period.
