9 key $BTC principles for MicroStrategy's success

Bitcoin evangelist Saylor tweeted that “$MSTR is in an exclusive relationship with $BTC,” once again admitting that Bitcoin has been the major driver for the MSTR price over the past years.

The “Bitcoin principles” shared by Saylor in that tweet are the following:

1. Buying and holding Bitcoin indefinitely, exclusively, and securely.

2. Prioritizing MSTR common stock long-term value creation.

3. Treating all investors with respect, consistency, and transparency.

4. Structuring MSTR to outperform Bitcoin via intelligent leverage.

5. Acquiring Bitcoin continually, while achieving positive $BTC yield.

6. Growing rapidly and responsibly subject to market dynamics.

7. Issuing innovative fixed income securities backed by $BTC.

8. Maintaining healthy, robust, and pristine balance sheet.

9. Promoting global adoption of Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset.

This week, MicroStrategy announced a plan to raise a mind-boggling $42 billion over the next three years to buy an additional amount of Bitcoin. The company already holds approximately $18 billion worth of $BTC—the fiat equivalent of 252,220 Bitcoins.

According to @lookonchain's tweet, these coins were purchased at an average price of $39,266 per coin, with an unrealized profit of almost $8 billion.
