Microstrategy è un'azienda che produce software di Business Intelligence (sono tra i principali concorrenti di SAP), quotata al Nasdaq (MSTR).
Con i bitcoin quindi non c'entrerebbero molto.
Eppure, nella presentazione dei dati finanziari del secondo trimestre questa azienda ha manifestato l'intenzione di investire parte della liquidità in eccesso (250 milioni di $), tra l'altro, anche in bitcoin.
.....accordingly, today, we are announcing a capital allocation strategy under which we plan to return up to $250 million to our shareholders over the next 12 months. In addition, we will seek to invest up to another $250 million over the next 12 months in one or more alternative investments or assets which may include stocks, bonds, commodities such as gold, digital assets such as Bitcoin, or other asset types.

TYSONS CORNER, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MicroStrategy® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR), the largest independent publicly-traded business intelligence company, today announced that it has purchased 21,454 bitcoins at an aggregate purchase price of $250 million, inclusive of fees and expenses. The purchase of Bitcoin cryptocurrency was made pursuant to the two-pronged capital allocation strategy previously announced by the company when it released its second quarter 2020 financial results on July 28, 2020.

Our investment in Bitcoin is part of our new capital allocation strategy, which seeks to maximize long-term value for our shareholders,” said Michael J. Saylor, CEO, MicroStrategy Incorporated. “This investment reflects our belief that Bitcoin, as the world’s most widely-adopted cryptocurrency, is a dependable store of value and an attractive investment asset with more long-term appreciation potential than holding cash. Since its inception over a decade ago, Bitcoin has emerged as a significant addition to the global financial system, with characteristics that are useful to both individuals and institutions. MicroStrategy has recognized Bitcoin as a legitimate investment asset that can be superior to cash and accordingly has made Bitcoin the principal holding in its treasury reserve strategy.”
In pratica sono la prima società quotata ad abbandonare il mondo delle fiat currency, soft currencies ad emissione incontrollata ed esponenziale, abbracciando l'hard money, rappresentata dall'oro digitale, Bitcoin.
