MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:MSTR) co-founder Michael Saylor has revealed that the company is minting $500 million a day as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) inches closer to $100,000 for the first time in its history.
What Happened: Saylor, who has been all-in on Bitcoin for years now, has revealed an insane statistic – MicroStrategy’s holdings of the top cryptocurrency have appreciated by as much as $5.4 billion over the last two weeks.
In an interview with CNBC, Saylor broke down MicroStrategy’s gains, saying, “We’re making $500 million a day. I’m staring at my screen and we’re selling dollar bills for $3, sometimes a million times a minute.”
