On July 30, Saylor shared another tweet, a more positive one, also mentioning Bitcoin. He cited a CNBC news message, which stated that during the recent Bitcoin 2024 conference, many companies committed to buying Bitcoin and adding it to their balance sheets as a strategic treasury asset.
These companies – no particular names were given, though – will be following MicroStrategy’s playbook. This behemoth has been acquiring BTC since August 2020 and is now holding a gargantuan chunk of 226,331 Bitcoin valued at a whopping $7.5 billion.
