MicroStrategy continues to raise funds through the issuance of common stock to support BTC purchases. It has currently raised $4.6 billion, and still has nearly $15.3 billion in unissued shares, mainly to provide flexibility for future purchase strategies.BTC acquisition strategy brings impressive returns, with a yield indicator of 41.8%
According to MicroStrategy's published BTC Yield KPI, the return on its BTC investment from 1/1 to 11/17 this year reached 41.8%. This shows that MicroStrategy's strategy of using stock financing to purchase BTC has not only brought impressive returns, but also long-term value for shareholders.Calling out Buffett and Microsoft, holding cash is not as good as buying BTC
In a recent interview, Michael Saylor specifically mentioned Berkshire Hathaway under Buffett, directly telling them that their $325 billion in cash is "becoming less and less valuable", shrinking by about $40 billion per year at a rate of 12%. Saylor further said that if Berkshire were to invest this money in BTC, it could easily earn over $60 billion in returns per year with a return of at least 21%. He also emphasized that as global capital gradually shifts towards BTC, the companies that enter the market now will be the biggest winners in the future. Not only did he mention Berkshire, Saylor also called out tech giants like Microsoft. He stated that if Microsoft were to convert a portion of its cash to BTC each quarter, it could create trillions of dollars in value for its shareholders over the next 10 years, increasing its market capitalization by hundreds of billions of dollars.The United States needs to establish a "Bitcoin National Reserve" to lead the global economy
Saylor also called on the U.S. government to establish a "Bitcoin National Reserve" like the gold reserve, and purchase at least 1 million bitcoins, accounting for 5% of the global supply. Saylor believes that this not only can attract global capital to flow to the United States, but also ensure that the United States can dominate the global digital economy era. He further stated: "If the United States buys 20% of bitcoins now, the future returns will be equivalent to buying Manhattan Island that year."
The scarcity of BTC is obvious, and institutions have started to position themselves
Currently, the total global supply of BTC is only 21 million, of which about 18% have been locked up by institutions such as MicroStrategy and BlackRock. Saylor believes that as most BTC are held for the long term, its scarcity will cause the price to rise continuously, and an unprecedented asset revolution is about to come.
