Saylor also highlighted successfully hosting ‘Bitcoin for Corporations’ during the first quarter on Feb. 3-4. The event took place during the company’s annual MicroStrategy World conference. Some 8,197 attendees from 6,917 different enterprises attended the event, where the company “utilized [its] thought leadership in the cryptocurrency market to show how organizations can incorporate digital assets into their balance sheet management.” 

Saylor concluded by remarking, “we will continue to acquire and hold additional bitcoin as we seek to create additional value for shareholders.” MicroStrategy first purchased bitcoin for $250 million on Aug. 11, 2020.
