“Volatility means Bitcoin is more interesting, and so MicroStrategy is more interesting,” says Michael Saylor. “Volatility is vitality.”
The bitcoin crash saw the stocks of MicroStrategy plummet to one of its lowest values. The crypto pile that was accumulated had been reduced by $3.4 Billion at the end of second quarter than the previous one. The hit also saw the stock of the company plummet by at least 66% in the quarters, which ironically is more than the decline of the bitcoin’s 59%.
What would happen if the company managed to buy every Bitcoin in existence?
Microstrategy won't get a margin call even if BTC falls to $3,562 as it will pledge some other asset as a collateral to the loan.
"If you had a chance to grab $2 billion at 1.5% interest, it seems like a reasonable thing to do and I'm glad we did it," Michael Saylor said.
