										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Strategy, previously known as MicroStrategy, is moving toward a major Bitcoin milestone as it continues expanding its holdings. The company currently holds about 738,731 BTC and would need to acquire an additional 261,269 coins to reach 1 million BTC before the end of 2026.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reaching that level would give the firm control of nearly 5% of Bitcoin’s 21 million token supply. This objective reflects a long-term strategy </span><a href="https://timestabloid.com/michael-saylor-eyes-21-billion-bitcoin-purchase-heres-the-implication/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">focused on accumulation</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. It also reinforces the company’s position as one of the largest institutional holders of the asset.</span></p>
<h2><b>Capital Requirements and Purchase Rate</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To achieve this target in 2026, the company must maintain a consistent acquisition pace. With roughly 42 weeks left in 2026, Strategy would need to purchase just over 6,100 BTC weekly. At an estimated average price of $85,000, this would require more than $500 million in weekly capital. Over the full period, total spending would approach $22 billion. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This level of investment highlights the scale of the effort required and suggests continued reliance on funding strategies to support purchases. Recent buying activity shows that this pace is possible. The company disclosed a weekly acquisition of 17,994 BTC. This is significantly higher than the required average and indicates that Strategy can </span><a href="https://timestabloid.com/microstrategy-seeks-21-billion-stock-offering-to-bolster-bitcoin-btc-holdings/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">increase its buying activity</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> when market conditions allow.</span></p>
<h2><b>Accumulation Trends and 2026 Performance</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since introducing its </span><a href="https://timestabloid.com/michael-saylors-microstrategy-acquires-another-5445-btc-to-push-its-bitcoin-reserves-to-158000-btc/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bitcoin treasury strategy</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in August 2020, Strategy has steadily built its position. Over time, the company has averaged approximately 10,700 BTC in monthly purchases, which equals around 128,000 BTC per year.</span></p>

<p>&mdash; TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) <a href="https://twitter.com/TimesTabloid1/status/1934162718258499855?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 15, 2025</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Strategy’s accumulation rate has gone up this year. The company has already added 64,948 BTC this year, placing it ahead of its historical trend. This stronger pace improves the likelihood of reaching the 1 million BTC target if sustained.</span></p>
<h2><b>Leadership Targets and Market Outlook</b></h2>
<p><a href="https://timestabloid.com/xrp-proponent-warns-bitcoin-holders-michael-saylor-is-a-government-contractor/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Michael Saylor</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> has outlined long-term supply goals tied to the company’s broader strategy. He has stated that Strategy aims to eventually control between 5% and 7.5% of Bitcoin’s total supply.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He has also connected these ownership levels to future price expectations. According to his projections, Bitcoin could reach $1 million once holdings approach 5% of the total supply. Higher ownership levels have been linked to even stronger long-term price outcomes.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The company has emphasized that its strategy is focused on long-term ownership rather than short-term selling. Strategy has stated that it does not plan to sell its Bitcoin holdings. Instead, it intends to continue accumulating the asset over time. This consistent approach supports its goal of maintaining Bitcoin as a core reserve asset. It will also strengthen its position in the market.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gordon, a self-proclaimed crypto multi-millionaire who posts under the handle @AltcoinGordon, shared a chart comparing the cumulative portfolio value of Bitcoin and XRP held from 2020 to 2025.</p>
<p>The data visualizes how MicroStrategy’s famous Bitcoin purchases would have performed had Michael Saylor, the company’s executive chairman, chosen XRP instead. According to the post, “Michael Saylor would be up 2X today if he bought XRP instead of Bitcoin.”</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Michael Saylor would be up 2X today if he bought XRP instead of Bitcoin  <a href="https://t.co/g5D9t1ukK4">pic.twitter.com/g5D9t1ukK4</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Gordon (@AltcoinGordon) <a href="https://twitter.com/AltcoinGordon/status/1946429018351243735?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 19, 2025</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<h2><b>Chart Shows XRP Outpacing Bitcoin by 2025</b></h2>
<p>The chart illustrates portfolio performance starting from August 2020 through July 2025. Both the <a href="https://timestabloid.com/analyst-forecasts-xrp-price-if-bitcoin-hits-140000/">Bitcoin and XRP</a> portfolios initially tracked each other closely through late 2021, showing modest gains with some fluctuations.</p>
<p>From December 2023 onwards, however, the XRP portfolio began to outperform Bitcoin significantly. Around September 2024, XRP’s cumulative value visibly exceeded Bitcoin’s and maintained its lead through to July 2025. By the end of the charted period, XRP’s hypothetical value crossed $140 billion while Bitcoin’s hovered near $70 billion.</p>
<h2><b>Gordon Emphasizes Missed Opportunity</b></h2>
<p>Gordon framed this as evidence that XRP would have yielded double the gains compared to Bitcoin over the same period. The data implies that the decision to focus solely on Bitcoin came at the expense of greater returns that could have been realized with <a href="https://timestabloid.com/sbi-holdings-becoming-the-microstrategy-of-xrp/">XRP</a>. Gordon presented the comparison as a hypothetical scenario, highlighting what he described as a missed opportunity for MicroStrategy’s treasury strategy.</p>
<h2><b>Responses Defend Bitcoin’s Long-Term Appeal</b></h2>
<p>In response to Gordon’s <a href="https://x.com/AltcoinGordon/status/1946429018351243735" rel="nofollow">post</a>, users on the platform weighed in with differing views. One user argued that the comparison overlooks Bitcoin’s unique properties.</p>
<p>They <a href="https://x.com/agentic_t/status/1946432834215842246" rel="nofollow">stated</a> that short-term gains do not outweigh long-term fundamentals, suggesting that Saylor’s choice of Bitcoin stemmed from his recognition of it as “the apex digital commodity” and a position unmatched by any other cryptocurrency. This user also highlighted Bitcoin’s network effects and institutional adoption as key factors behind Saylor’s investment thesis.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">We are on X, follow us to connect with us :- <a href="https://twitter.com/TimesTabloid1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TimesTabloid1</a></p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<h2><b>Debate Between Immediate Returns and Vision</b></h2>
<p>Another commenter echoed this sentiment by asserting that while XRP may have delivered superior gains over the past two years, Bitcoin laid the groundwork for the entire digital asset ecosystem.</p>
<p><a href="https://x.com/HdHallucination/status/1946544736103518226" rel="nofollow">According</a> to this perspective, Bitcoin represents a long-term bet on a future where fiat currencies decline and monetary sovereignty becomes more important. The same user emphasized that Saylor’s intent was not to pursue short-term gains but rather to align with what they described as a rewriting of monetary history.</p>
<p>Gordon’s tweet and the attached chart focused primarily on cumulative portfolio performance, measuring the returns of each asset over nearly five years.</p>
<p>The comparison underscored XRP’s more recent appreciation, particularly from late 2023 onwards, where its growth accelerated relative to Bitcoin. The chart clearly visualized a sharp divergence between the two portfolios as XRP climbed rapidly, while Bitcoin’s growth remained steady but comparatively subdued.</p>
<p>Overall, the post by Gordon asserted that Saylor could have doubled <a href="https://timestabloid.com/microstrategy-still-holds-478740-btc-best-crypto-coins/">MicroStrategy’s portfolio value </a>had he opted for XRP instead of Bitcoin. However, several respondents contended that the choice of Bitcoin reflects a long-term strategy centered on digital scarcity and foundational strength, rather than short-term market performance.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In a continued push to expand its Bitcoin holdings, Strategy—formerly known as </span><a href="https://timestabloid.com/microstrategys-grand-strategy-pays-off-handsomely/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">MicroStrategy</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">—</span><a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1050446/000119312525050408/d914208d424b5.htm"><span style="font-weight: 400;">is set to raise $21 billion</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> through an offering of 8.00% Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock. This move aligns with the company’s long-standing approach of leveraging capital markets to acquire more BTC.</span></p>
<h2><b>A Strategic Play for Bitcoin Growth</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Strategy has repeatedly utilized equity and debt financing to bolster its Bitcoin reserves, and this latest initiative follows the same playbook. Rather than executing a single large sale, the company will distribute shares of the perpetual preferred stock—trading under the Nasdaq ticker “STRK”—gradually, adapting its approach based on market conditions and investor interest.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The issued shares carry an 8.00% annual dividend and a $100 per share liquidation preference, mirroring previous fundraising efforts. The capital raised is earmarked primarily for a singular purpose: strengthening the company’s Bitcoin position.</span></p>
<h2><b>Scaling Up: A Multi-Year Expansion Plan</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is not the first time Strategy has pursued such an approach. Earlier this year, the company conducted a similar offering, reinforcing its long-term commitment to Bitcoin accumulation. With a three-year plan targeting $42 billion in funding, the firm is systematically increasing its stake in the digital asset space.</span></p>
<h2><b>Implications for Bitcoin and the General Market </b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Strategy’s aggressive capital raise for Bitcoin acquisition could have far-reaching effects on both the cryptocurrency and traditional financial markets. By injecting billions into Bitcoin, the company is creating strong buying pressure, potentially driving up prices and increasing institutional confidence in BTC as a treasury asset. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This move further accelerates Bitcoin’s financialization, intertwining it with equity markets, as Strategy’s stock (MSTR) increasingly serves as a proxy for Bitcoin exposure. However, this also introduces greater volatility—both for Bitcoin and Strategy’s stock—since large acquisitions and potential liquidations can create market imbalances.</span></p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Beyond price action, this strategy may invite regulatory scrutiny, as authorities assess the risks of a publicly traded company leveraging its financial structure so heavily for crypto accumulation. If successful, Strategy’s approach could inspire other corporations to follow suit, deepening Bitcoin’s role in mainstream finance. Conversely, any missteps—such as financial overextension or a sharp BTC downturn—could trigger negative market reactions. Ultimately, this move reinforces Bitcoin’s growing influence while also exposing it to new risks tied to corporate finance and market regulation.</span></p>
<h2><b>Bitcoin Holdings and Market Position</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Currently, Strategy </span><a href="https://timestabloid.com/michael-saylor-reveals-why-microstrategy-sold-11-million-worth-of-bitcoin-on-december-22/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">possesses</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> an impressive 499,096 BTC, valued at approximately $41.71 billion. The company’s average acquisition cost stands at $66,423 per Bitcoin, positioning it for a 25.83% unrealized gain. Its stock, trading at $274.11 per share, contributes to a market capitalization of $74.7 billion—of which Bitcoin now represents 55.8%.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By continuing to harness financial instruments for</span><a href="https://timestabloid.com/michael-saylors-microstrategy-acquires-another-5445-btc-to-push-its-bitcoin-reserves-to-158000-btc/"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> BTC accumulation</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Strategy remains one of the most aggressive institutional players in the Bitcoin market. This latest stock offering is yet another step in its ongoing strategy to merge corporate finance with digital asset investment, reinforcing its conviction in Bitcoin’s long-term potential.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A recent analysis by financial expert and value investor Jacob King on X has <a href="https://x.com/JacobKinge/status/1863615714910757223">highlighted</a> an intriguing scenario for cryptocurrency investors.</p>
<p>Jacob asserts that MicroStrategy, led by Michael Saylor, could have drastically boosted its return on investment (ROI) if the firm had allocated its $21.91 billion cryptocurrency portfolio to XRP rather than Bitcoin (BTC).</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">If Michael Saylor had bought <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24XRP&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$XRP</a> instead of <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24BTC&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$BTC</a>, MicroStrategy’s $21.91 billion investment would now be worth approximately $81.94 billion, yielding a 274% ROI.</p>
<p>That would be OVER $60 billion in additional profits! <a href="https://t.co/zqMPx2Rwo6">pic.twitter.com/zqMPx2Rwo6</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Jacob King (@JacobKinge) <a href="https://twitter.com/JacobKinge/status/1863615714910757223?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 2, 2024</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>This scenario underscores the potential missed opportunities in their investment strategy. According to King’s calculations, such a move would have generated a 274% ROI, translating to $81.94 billion in value—over $60 billion more than its current Bitcoin holdings.</p>
<h2><b>King’s Analysis and Its Context</b></h2>
<p>The accompanying chart shared by King demonstrates a marked divergence in the price trajectories of <a href="https://timestabloid.com/projects-like-xrp-and-hedera-will-soon-be-bigger-than-bitcoin-heres-why/">XRP and Bitcoin</a>. The visual comparison emphasizes XRP’s strong upward momentum relative to Bitcoin’s more subdued price performance during the same period.</p>
<p>King’s argument reflects a hypothetical shift in MicroStrategy’s investment strategy, showcasing the potential impact of selecting a highly volatile but high-performing asset like XRP.</p>
<p>In <a href="https://x.com/GigabitDrew/status/1863619673486475472">response</a> to this hypothetical scenario, another user, Andrew “Old IT Guy” Wade, emphasized several important considerations regarding altcoins like XRP. He pointed out that MicroStrategy’s investment would represent a substantial portion of XRP’s total market capitalization, potentially distorting the market.</p>
<p>Additionally, the large volume of XRP required for such an investment might destabilize the asset’s price if sold. Moreover, XRP carries a fundamentally different risk profile compared to Bitcoin, which many investors consider a more established and reliable store of value.</p>
<p>From a financial perspective, Jacob King&#8217;s analysis underscores the importance of timing and asset selection in maximizing returns. While XRP’s recent performance has outpaced Bitcoin’s, it is crucial to recognize that past performance does not guarantee future results.</p>
<p>Additionally, investments of MicroStrategy’s scale would likely encounter liquidity and market impact challenges, especially in the case of altcoins with relatively smaller market capitalizations than Bitcoin.</p>
<p>Bitcoin remains the most widely adopted cryptocurrency, boasting a market cap of over $500 billion as of December 2024. Its liquidity, regulatory clarity, and acceptance as a digital gold standard provide a risk-adjusted appeal that aligns with MicroStrategy’s long-term strategy.</p>
<p>Despite XRP&#8217;s <a href="https://timestabloid.com/document-shows-central-of-bank-of-russia-would-use-xrp-for-cross-border-payments/">growing adoption in cross-border payments</a> and favorable developments in its legal disputes, it operates within a smaller ecosystem and remains subject to unique risks.</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<h2><b>Risk-Reward Considerations</b></h2>
<p>The comparison between XRP and Bitcoin extends beyond ROI metrics. It includes broader considerations like market stability, regulatory environments, and investor perception. XRP has experienced significant price surges recently, driven by optimism surrounding its use cases and legal clarity in the U.S.</p>
<p>While Jacob King’s analysis showcases the hypothetical profitability of investing in XRP over Bitcoin, it also highlights the complexity of managing large-scale cryptocurrency investments. XRP’s recent price performance illustrates its potential for significant returns, yet its market dynamics and risk profile make it a fundamentally different asset compared to Bitcoin.</p>
<p>For institutional investors like MicroStrategy, the decision to prioritize Bitcoin over altcoins such as XRP reflects a strategic focus on stability, liquidity, and long-term growth. This discussion serves as a reminder of the multifaceted considerations that underpin investment decisions in the evolving cryptocurrency landscape.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://timestabloid.com/microstrategys-grand-strategy-pays-off-handsomely/">MicroStrategy</a> founder Michael Saylor, a renowned Bitcoin maximalist, has issued harsh predictions for Ethereum (ETH) and other altcoins, including XRP, Cardano (ADA), and Solana (SOL).</p>
<p>During MicroStrategy&#8217;s recent Bitcoin for Corporations event, Saylor <a href="https://x.com/beaglebitcoin/status/1786131225607885067?s=46">asserted</a> that these altcoins will not be approved for spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) because they are securities.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>Read Also: <a href="https://timestabloid.com/michael-saylors-microstrategy-acquires-4167-btc-worth-190-million-after-obtaining-205-million-loan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Saylor&#8217;s MicroStrategy Acquires 4,167 BTC worth $190 Million after Obtaining $205 Million Loan</a></strong></em></span></p>
<h2><b>Ethereum Spot ETF Prospects and Regulatory Scrutiny</b></h2>
<p>Saylor believes the SEC will reject applications for Ethereum-based spot ETFs this summer. He believes this could classify ETH as an unregistered security instead of a commodity.</p>
<p>The SEC, as previously <a href="https://timestabloid.com/report-us-sec-is-preparing-to-classify-ethereum-eth-as-a-security/">reported by Times Tabloid</a>, is investigating whether certain Ethereum transactions qualify as investment contracts, which could affect the fate of Ethereum-based ETF applications. While Ethereum has not been definitively labeled as a security, the ongoing investigations create uncertainty.</p>
<p>Saylor criticized popular altcoins like Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Binance Coin (BNB), Cardano (ADA), and Solana (SOL), calling them unregistered crypto securities. He believes they are unlikely to gain mainstream adoption due to their lack of spot ETF prospects. It&#8217;s worth noting that these altcoins are under SEC scrutiny for potential security classifications.</p>
<p>For instance, the SEC labeled XRP a security in its lawsuit against Ripple in December 2020. Similarly, the regulatory body has applied the security label to SOL, ADA, and BNB in its legal actions <a href="https://timestabloid.com/ripple-clo-discusses-inconsistencies-in-coinbase-ruling-and-legal-implication/">against Coinbase</a> and <a href="https://timestabloid.com/sec-seeks-2-6-billion-budget-for-crypto-crackdown/">Binance</a>. XRP, however, holds the distinction of being the only altcoin with legal clarity within the United States, having received a security classification from a New York federal court in July 2023.</p>
<h2><b>Saylor&#8217;s Bitcoin Advocacy and Regulatory Landscape</b></h2>
<p>In contrast to his negative outlook on altcoins, Saylor supports Bitcoin and considers it as the “one, universal, consensus, accepted, institutional-grade crypto asset.” MicroStrategy, under Saylor&#8217;s leadership, has aggressively acquired Bitcoin since August 2020.</p>
<p>Saylor&#8217;s stance aligns with a common trend among certain Bitcoin proponents who advocate for stricter regulatory measures against altcoins because they believe Bitcoin is a better store of value and a hedge against inflation.</p>

<h2><b>BlackRock and the Ethereum ETF Debate</b></h2>
<p>Although the possibility of an <a href="https://timestabloid.com/ethereum-etfs-overcoming-regulatory-uncertainty/">Ethereum ETF</a> is uncertain, some industry experts are optimistic. Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, believes that an Ethereum ETF could still be launched even if the SEC classifies <a href="https://x.com/eleanorterrett/status/1773072336884732357?s=46">ETH as a security</a>. BlackRock is actively working towards launching a spot ETF for Ethereum.</p>
<p>The regulatory landscape affects the altcoin market, and Saylor&#8217;s Bitcoin bias may pose challenges for altcoins to gain mainstream acceptance. The SEC&#8217;s decision on Ethereum&#8217;s ETF applications is still unknown.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) is an American company known for its business intelligence and data management software. It was established in 1989, and over the years, it has emerged as a frontrunner in its field. Recently, <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/NASDAQ-MSTR/">MicroStrategy stock</a> has surged, catching the eye of investors. The reason for this growth is the company&#8217;s bold strategy of investing in cryptocurrencies (particularly in Bitcoin).</p>
<p>In August 2020, MicroStrategy made headlines by announcing a $250 million investment in Bitcoin. Since then, it has upped the ante, acquiring an additional $425 million and later, a staggering $15 billion worth of Bitcoin. This strategic pivot towards cryptocurrencies has piqued investor interest, with many recognizing MicroStrategy&#8217;s savvy grasp of the market and its potential for growth.</p>
<p>On March 26, the company&#8217;s market capitalization reached a new historical high of $31.85 billion. Fueling this surge was MicroStrategy&#8217;s recent purchase of 9245 BTC on March 19, totaling around $623 million. With a Bitcoin portfolio comprising over 214,246 BTC (equivalent to more than 1% of all Bitcoins currently in circulation), MicroStrategy&#8217;s aggressive investment approach has paid off handsomely. The company&#8217;s shares significantly increased their value and updated the historical maximum twice in March alone. Investors no longer view MicroStrategy solely as a software developer but also as a cryptocurrency holding company, which adds allure to its shares.</p>
<p>Maintaining support levels is crucial for sustaining this growth trajectory. The previous all-time high (ATH) of $1,800 serves as a critical benchmark. A breach below this level could trigger a rapid decline, and the intermediate support of $1600 won&#8217;t be able to stop it. In this case, there&#8217;s a possibility of testing the $1300 mark before stabilizing within a horizontal channel between $1,800 and $1,900. However, future announcements of Bitcoin purchases could inject fresh momentum into MicroStrategy&#8217;s stock.</p>
<p>So, why did MicroStrategy decide to invest in cryptocurrency? The main reason was the company&#8217;s desire to diversify its investment portfolio and hedge against inflation. Bitcoin&#8217;s decentralized nature, immune to central bank interventions and government regulators, provides a safeguard against economic upheaval.</p>
<p>The company&#8217;s prospects look promising. Its investment strategy underscores its willingness to embrace technological shifts and risk — as <a href="https://www.kitco.com/opinion/2024-03-12/who-benefits-bitcoin-rally">Bitcoin gains traction</a> as an alternative asset, MicroStrategy stands to benefit. With its investment strategy yielding positive outcomes thus far, the company appears poised for continued success in both the cryptocurrency and business intelligence spheres.</p>

<p>During this time, BTC traded around $26,000. It reached $28,000 briefly on August 29 and dropped to $25,000 on September 11. BTC is trading at $26,368.08, down 0.86% in the last 24 hours. It is also down 1.39% in the past week.</p>
<p>Under Saylor, Microstrategy has continued displaying commitment to Bitcoin. This strategy has garnered praise and criticism but has enabled the company to amass a substantial reserve of BTC, reinforcing its position in the crypto space.</p>
<p>Similarly, between April 29 and June 27, Microstrategy acquired 12,333 BTC at an average cost of $29,668 per BTC, amounting to $347 million. It came after Q1 of this year, which was Microstrategy&#8217;s first profitable quarter since 2020. This was due to a one-time income tax benefit, and the company stayed profitable, with a net income of $22.2 million reported in August for Q2.</p>
<p>Remarkably, during this period, the company&#8217;s stock price has surged by 200%, and its core business sales have increased by 4% year over year, with subscription services revenue seeing a 42% year-over-year growth.</p>

<h2><strong>Michael Saylor&#8217;s Relationship with Bitcoin</strong></h2>
<p>Michael Saylor has been an outspoken advocate for Bitcoin as a store of value and a hedge against inflation. Saylor&#8217;s journey into the world of Bitcoin began in August 2020. This was the first time MicroStrategy purchased Bitcoin.</p>
<p>The company has consistently increased its Bitcoin reserves, often leveraging its stock holdings for these acquisitions. Saylor&#8217;s strategic vision has given MicroStrategy a substantial Bitcoin reserve and has inspired other corporations and institutions to view cryptocurrencies as strategic assets for their treasuries.</p>
<p>With Microstrategy&#8217;s success, more companies are expected to follow its example, and the crypto market could see increased liquidity and mass adoption. Increased liquidity is good news because a veteran analyst has shared his belief that <a href="https://timestabloid.com/veteran-analyst-shows-why-liquidity-is-needed-to-drive-xrp-price-rather-than-narratives/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">crypto assets need liquidity to grow</a>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Michael Saylor, founder and former CEO of MicroStrategy, has highlighted the reason behind the sale of Bitcoin (BTC) initiated by the company towards the end of 2022.</p>
<p>In a recent discussion on Twitter, Saylor <a href="https://twitter.com/saylor/status/1608183418067501065" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a> that MicroStrategy as a corporation has the right to enjoy tax benefits through the sale of a portion of his Bitcoin holdings.</p>
<p><strong><em>Read Also: <a href="https://timestabloid.com/billionaire-mark-cuban-states-the-condition-that-can-make-him-buy-more-bitcoin-btc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Billionaire Mark Cuban States the Condition That Can Make Him Buy More Bitcoin (BTC)</a></em></strong></p>
<p>Michael Saylor noted:</p>
<p><em>“Bitcoin is traded as property right now, so that means that you can sell the property, take the capital loss and you have the option to buy property in the future or to have bought it in the past and that’s a different tax basis.</em></p>
<p><em>“We have some capital gains that we pay taxes on and then we can have some capital losses in Bitcoin, so by selling the Bitcoin and taking the capital loss, we’re able to use that to offset some capital gains. So it’s very tax efficient for the corporation.”</em></p>
<p>It can be recalled that in a <a href="https://www.microstrategy.com/content/dam/website-assets/collateral/financial-documents/financial-document-archive/form-8-k-12-28-2022.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filing submitted</a> on the 28th of December to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), MicroStrategy reported that it sold $11.8 million worth of Bitcoin (BTC) at an average price of approximately $16,776 on December 22nd.</p>
<p>According to the company in the filing, the sale of about 704 BTC is for tax purposes.</p>
<p><em>“MicroStrategy plans to carry back the capital losses resulting from this transaction against previous capital gains, to the extent such carrybacks are available under the federal income tax laws currently in effect, which may generate a tax benefit.”</em></p>

<p>The firm also shows in the filing that it bought more BTC on the 24th of December than it sold:</p>
<p><em>“On December 24, 2022, MicroStrategy acquired approximately 810 Bitcoins for approximately $13.6 million in cash, at an average price of approximately $16,845 per Bitcoin, inclusive of fees and expenses.”</em></p>

<p>Although the institution&#8217;s constant BTC accumulation has received lots of criticism from top figures like Peter Schiff, the Chief Economist and global strategist at Europac, <a href="https://timestabloid.com/a-bitcoin-whale-moved-over-200000-btc-to-exchanges-could-this-be-michael-saylor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Micheal Saylor</a> remains bullish on Bitcoin (BTC). On the other hand, some opine that the Microstrategy could print billions of dollars in the next bull cycle from their crypto holdings.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Michael Saylor, the founder and former CEO of MicroStrategy, has explained why he believes that his company joined the Bitcoin (BTC) bandwagon at the right time, which he thinks will significantly pay off in the long run.</p>
<p>In an <a href="https://youtu.be/aN-8x4iSgzo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> with Cambone shared on YouTube about three days ago, Saylor said the majority of those criticizing his company’s decision to acquire Bitcoin (BTC) in thousands are those who don’t understand the asset class at all. He said they hate volatility and prefer to keep their money in a bank where it yields 1% interest.</p>
<p><strong><em>Read Also: <a href="https://timestabloid.com/michael-saylor-slammed-by-vitalik-buterin-and-john-deaton-for-saying-altcoins-are-securities-and-unethical/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Saylor Slammed By Vitalik Buterin and John Deaton For Saying Altcoins are Securities and Unethical</a></em></strong></p>
<p>Michael Saylor noted:</p>
<p>“<em>Conventional critics and conventional mainstream analysts, they don’t get the crypto economy, they don’t understand Bitcoin, and they hate volatility. And those are the people that would tell you ‘take all your money, put it in a bank account yielding 1% interest, just don’t lose it, and don’t bother us’.”</em></p>
<p>Saylor continued by saying that MicroStrategy adopted Bitcoin (BTC) investment because they knew that money held in a bank account loses 20% of its purchasing power per year. He said this is caused by the continued paper money printing by Federal Reserve.</p>
<p>“<em>But when we embraced the Bitcoin strategy, we knew that if we held our cash in a bank account, it was going to lose 20% of its purchasing power per year, and it has as predicted. The money supply expanded by 40%: single-family homes in the U.S. have increased in price by 40%. If you had 500 million dollars, it would have bought you 40% less today than it would have bought you two years ago.”</em></p>
<p>Saylor said when MicroStrategy decided to acquire Bitcoin (BTC), it was like getting into a lifeboat in a storming sea to save their shareholders. Although they got tossed around in the sea, “<em>we’re going to float and we’re going to appreciate over time.”</em></p>
<p><strong><em>Read Also: <a href="https://timestabloid.com/microstrategy-ceo-michael-saylor-i-will-be-buying-bitcoin-btc-at-the-top-forever/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor: “I Will Be Buying Bitcoin (BTC) At the Top Forever”</a></em></strong></p>
<h2><strong>MicroStrategy Has Not Sold Any Bitcoin (BTC)</strong></h2>
<p>Saylor disclosed that he started acquiring Bitcoin (BTC) when it was trading between $9,000 and $10,000, and none of the stashed assets has been sold.</p>
<p>He said his least investment timeframe is 2 years, which is why Bitcoin is the best choice for him and his company.</p>
<p><em>“If you’re a short time horizon person and you want to look at making a trade in the past three months or six months, just about everything you could have bought in the world in the past six months is a losing trade if you have a short enough time frame, but if you have a two-year time frame, Bitcoin’s winning.</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;It’s winning over four years. It’s winning over six years. It’s winning over eight years. And I just like to be in business more than two years from now. So that’s why we did it,” </em>Michael Saylor stated.</p>
