We believe that in coming months, many more companies will be joining the likes of MicroStrategy and add Bitcoin as reserve asset to combat fall of conventional assets and cash.

Michael J. Saylor, CEO, MicroStrategy Incorporated said,

Our investment in Bitcoin is part of our new capital allocation strategy, which seeks to maximize long-term value for our shareholders.

He added that their decision to add Bitcoin as reserve asset was driven by macro factors affecting current business and economic landscape. They believe such macro factors will have a detrimental effect on fiat currencies and other conventional assets which are already a part of MicroStrategy’s reserve assets.
