Few tales in corporate finance are as audacious, bewildering, or downright entertaining as that of the company formerly known as MicroStrategy. This once-humdrum business-software vendor has transformed into a high-octane bitcoin investment vehicle under the flamboyant leadership of Michael Saylor, its co-founder and executive chair. The company, now called Strategy, holds nearly 500,000 bitcoins, equivalent to 2.38 per cent of the total supply, acquired at an average price of around $66,000.
在公司财务领域,很少有故事像曾经被称为微策略(MicroStrategy)的公司那样大胆、令人困惑或彻底娱乐。这家曾经平淡无奇的商业软件供应商在其联合创始人兼执行主席迈克尔•塞勒(Michael Saylor)的张扬领导下,转型为一个高风险的比特币投资工具。现在名为策略公司(Strategy)的公司持有近50万枚比特币,相当于总供应量的2.38%,这些比特币是以大约66,000美元的平均价格购得的。
