MicroStrategy BTC Profits Cross $3 billion

Along with Tesla, an Enterprise software company, and Bitcoin’s largest holder, MicroStrategy’s BTC profits also rallied with the Coin’s price surge. MicroStrategy’s crypto portfolio stands strong with over 114,000 Bitcoins, and CEO Michael Saylor has no plans to liquidate anytime soon. The company’s stocks trembled on this Tuesday, i.e., when the ProShares Bitcoin futures ETF started trading, however, the company rose and corrected overnight.

According to the FX Empire report, MicroStrategy shares hiked 4.2% yesterday, to $758. Furthermore, 2021 overall has been a profitable year for the company, with its stocks approximately doubling and spiking over 300% as compared to last year, which also resonates with the Bitcoin price surge of over 400%.

“MicroStrategy $MSTR reported a combined $3.5 billion in revenue between 2014 and 2020. But Michael Saylor has turned a $3.16 billion bet on Bitcoin into $6.7 billion in just over a year. This is one of the greatest trades by a CEO of a publicly-traded company in history.”, Joe Pompliano tweeted this Tuesday.
