Companies must have traded on the Nasdaq bourse for at least 2 years and command a daily volume of 200,000 shares. The firm must also file regular or timely financials amongst others. MicroStrategy made its emergence in November 1989 to offer advanced software and cloud services. However, the company did not enter into the limelight until August 2020 when it adoption a Bitcoin-first treasury reserve strategy. To date, the company has maintained a consistent BTC accumulation , pushing its overall holdings to 423,650 units. Michael Saylor’s Popularity Tested MSTR co-founder and Chairman Michael Saylor has helped drive the growth of the company to date. Beyond keeping faith with the firm’s Bitcoin strategy, he has taken up an advocacy role for the top digital currency. Earlier, he presented a 3-minute pitch to Microsoft board urging them to adopt the coin as a reserve asset. As reported earlier by Coingape, the Microsoft Board has voted against BTC in a bid to maintain its status quo. While MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin playbook has allegedly inspired Tesla, Metaplanet and Semler Scientific to go long on BTC, the Microsoft rebuff served as an unexpectedly failed popularity check.
