Biggest Corporate Bitcoin Owner
As a result of the transaction, MicroStrategy has become the biggest corporate Bitcoin owner. There is a value of around $3.98 billion in its assets. While the market is in a state of heightened turbulence, the business intelligence organization is buying Bitcoin. The price of Bitcoin temporarily fell below $20,000 on Wednesday, more than $10,000 below the average purchase price of the corporation. Data published by Bitcoin Treasuries shows that a net unrealized loss of roughly $1.4 billion is lying in the company’s BTC hoard.
The firm’s CEO, Michael Saylor, is optimistic about Bitcoin’s long-term prospects. Earlier this month, he informed his 2.5 million Twitter followers that the company intends to “HODL through adversity” and has no intentions to sell.
MicroStrategy made $119.3 million in sales in the first quarter. The company made $93.6 million in gross profit in the quarter. Saylor noted that the only loan that has to be collateralized for the Bitcoin they have is a $200 million one on its balance sheet, which is worth many billions of dollars. According to the CEO, the corporation has already over-collateralized by ten times in this area.
Before that, in an interview with CNBC, Saylor assured the community that the firm would not be impacted by a margin call as long as the loan-to-value number does not transcend the 50 percent mark.
