As of September 2023, MicroStrategy holds over 158,245 #Bitcoin, worth over $4.68 billion at current prices. This makes MicroStrategy the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin in the world.
How did Michael Saylor manage his company to keep buying #btc ?
Here is a thread:
Michael Saylor has been able to buy so much Bitcoin by using the funds of his company, MicroStrategy, in a variety of ways.
1. Selling stock and bonds
One of the ways that MicroStrategy has financed its Bitcoin purchases is by selling stock and bonds. This has allowed the company to raise a significant amount of money to buy Bitcoin. For example, in August 2020, MicroStrategy raised $650 million by selling stock and bonds, which it then used to buy Bitcoin.
2. Taking out loans
Another way that MicroStrategy has financed its Bitcoin purchases is by taking out loans. This has allowed the company to buy more Bitcoin than it would be able to afford if it were using only its own cash reserves. For example, in February 2021, MicroStrategy took out a $400 million loan from Silvergate Bank, which it then used to buy Bitcoin.
3. Converting its existing cash reserves
MicroStrategy has also financed its Bitcoin purchases by converting its existing cash reserves into Bitcoin. This has allowed the company to reduce its exposure to fiat currencies and increase its exposure to Bitcoin. For example, in June 2022, MicroStrategy announced that it was converting $250 million of its cash reserves into Bitcoin.
4. Leveraged Bitcoin investment
MicroStrategy has also used a strategy called a "leveraged Bitcoin investment" to finance its Bitcoin purchases. This involves taking out a loan to buy Bitcoin, and then using the Bitcoin as collateral for another loan. This allows MicroStrategy to buy more Bitcoin than it would be able to afford if it were using only its own cash reserves.
For example, in March 2022, MicroStrategy took out a $205 million loan from Goldman Sachs, which it then used to buy Bitcoin. MicroStrategy then used the Bitcoin as collateral for another $205 million loan from Silvergate Bank. This allowed MicroStrategy to buy $410 million worth of Bitcoin with only a $205 million investment.
MicroStrategy is currently sitting on a $520 million unrealized loss on its #Bitcoin investment.
Michael Saylor is either a brilliant investor or a fool, and only time will tell.
I personally will buy as much #BTC as I can before Michael Saylor buys it all 😂

The world will never be the same with Tesla Bot 🦾🤖
On August 19th, 2021, Tesla unveiled the Optimus Bot, a humanoid robot with the potential to revolutionize labor.
In a new video update, Optimus can now sort objects autonomously. At this rate, we will have a robot that can replace humans' work. 👀
That would reduce Labor Costs by 85% in 5 Years. It can also work 24/7, which means that it can be more productive than human workers.💸
@elonmusk predicts that all goods and services will soon be available to everyone at the lowest possible cost, which could lead to a world where humans no longer need to work.
The question is what would 9 billion people do in such a world ?🤔
Watch Elon Musk’s prediction 👇

Pope Francis has called on the West to welcome in migrants, but Vatican City itself is not very diverse or inclusive
It is only 120 acres and only allows a few hundred residents, all of whom are Roman Catholic. It is impossible to become a citizen of Vatican City.
The Pope has been preaching about welcoming migrants, but he has not let any into Vatican City.
Pope Francis wants immigrants but in our home, not in his home

This week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited Washington, D.C 🇺🇸🇺🇦
I have seen many people called Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a modern Winston Churchill.
I try to compare the similarity and differences between them.
Here is a thread of my 2 cents:
1. Similarities between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Winston Churchill:
Both men were unlikely leaders who rose to the occasion in a time of crisis. Zelenskyy was a comedian and actor before becoming president of Ukraine, while Churchill was a journalist and historian before becoming prime minister of the United Kingdom.
Both men were gifted orators who used their words to inspire their people and rally international support. Zelenskyy has given numerous speeches since the start of the war, many of which have been praised for their eloquence and passion. Similarly, Churchill's speeches during World War II are considered to be among the greatest in the English language.
Both men were willing to stand up to powerful dictators, even when the odds were stacked against them. Zelenskyy has refused to leave Ukraine or surrender to Russia, despite the fact that Russian forces are much larger and better equipped. Churchill famously led Britain through the darkest days of World War II, when Nazi Germany was on the march.
Both men are regarded as symbols of freedom and democracy. Zelenskyy has become a global icon for his defiance of Russian aggression, while Churchill is remembered as one of the greatest defenders of liberty in history.
Here is one of the greatest Sir Winton Churchill speech during WWII. It always give me goosebumps 🥶

2. Differences between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Winston Churchill:
Zelenskyy is a much younger man than Churchill was when he became prime minister. Zelenskyy was 41 years old when he took office in 2019, while Churchill was 65 years old when he became prime minister in 1940.
Zelenskyy is a native of Ukraine, while Churchill was British. This difference in nationality may reflect some of the differences in their approaches to leadership. For example, Zelenskyy has been more willing to embrace nationalism and militarism than Churchill was.
Zelenskyy is leading Ukraine in a war against Russia, while Churchill led Britain in a war against Nazi Germany. The two wars have some similarities, but there are also some important differences. For example, the war in Ukraine is being fought in the age of social media, which gives Zelenskyy a much different platform to communicate with his people and the world than Churchill had.
Here is an emotional speech by Zelensky 💛💙
3. The comparison between Zelenskyy and Churchill is inevitable. Both men are leading their countries through times of great crisis, and both have been praised for their courage, determination, and inspirational rhetoric.
Zelenskyy's leadership remains to be seen; history will judge him. Churchill, on the other hand, is widely considered one of the greatest leaders of the 20th century.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that if elected again he would deploy thousands of overseas-based troops to the U.S.-Mexico border.
"Upon my inauguration I will immediately terminate every open borders policy of the Biden administration,"
"I'll make clear that we must use any and all resources needed to stop the invasion, including moving thousands of troops currently stationed overseas."
Do you think Trump 2.0 will fix our border crisis or he will destroy American Democracy as others claim? 🤔
Happy Hump Day!
We are almost halfway through the week. But i have crossed the streets in Vietnam successfully 😂😂

Elon Musk's SpaceX is suing the feds, saying that the DOJ's case against them for not hiring refugees is unconstitutional.
SpaceX says that many of their projects are national security secrets, and they would be fined for hiring foreigners.
The Biden administration is clearly threatened by #ElonMusk . Back in August, the DOJ started investigating him for a "glass house" project at Tesla.
In my opinion, Elon is being attacked because he supports freedom of speech and truth. That's costly. #FreedomOfSpeech
Billionaire investor Ron Baron says that Elon is having more trouble with social media than he is with going to Mars. He's being attacked unfairly, over and over again.

Mark Cuban aka Crypto pumper lost $870k in a recent crypto hack.
Just a few days back, @LayahHeilpern spilled the beans on Mark Cuban turning down her virtual podcast invite. Because she is unvaccinated and wasn't keen on pushing the vaccine agenda to her followers.
Mark Cuban straight-up told her, He would give an interview on her podcast only if Layah Heilpern goes and gets vaccinated herself and spreads the word to others.
But he didn't stop there. Mark Cuban went the extra mile, declaring, He ain't "support people who haven't been vaccinated."
"When you get vaccinated and tell others to do the same I will come on."
"My choice not to support people who haven't been vaccinated."
She also revealed the conversation between Cuban and her on Telegram channel. See it in post below: 👇

🇺🇸🇻🇳US President Biden visited Vietnam and held a press conference in Hanoi. These 2 clips sum it up:
1st: In a Hanoi presser, Joe went off script, then brought out the scary whispers for global warming.😳
2nd: "I'm just following my orders here," he said, and "I don't know about you, but I'm going to go to bed."😴
I'm sorry, but I think we may have reached peak gerontocracy in politics. 🤔
I don't know what Sleepy Joe is doing here.🤣🤣
