Then he invested extra money into BTC.
And extra.
Till right this moment, the place MSTR’s steadiness sheet boasts over 226,331 Bitcoin, price over $13B USD on the present worth.
Now they’ve chosen to do a 10-for-1 inventory cut up which suggests…
Put merely, shareholders will get an extra 9 shares for each one share they maintain (every price 1/tenth the worth), which might be distributed after buying and selling closes on Aug. 7.
In keeping with the MSTR press launch, the item is: “to make MicroStrategy’s inventory extra accessible to traders and staff.”
