šŸ“ What you need to know

MicroStrategy is no more: the software firm set tongues wagging with a splashy announcement that it was rebranding as simply ā€œStrategy,ā€ with co-founder and Bitcoin bull Michael Saylor touting the name as ā€œone of the most powerful and positive words in the human language.ā€

While Crypto Twitter was busy debating the rebrand (and making the same joke over and over) the company dropped its Q4 earnings report, posting a net loss for the quarter of $670.8 million, an order of magnitude larger than the $89.1 million loss posted for the same period in 2023.

Still, Saylor may yet have the last laugh, with its expenditures going towards growing its vast Bitcoin stockpileā€”purchased for an average price of $62,503 at the end of 2024, and now worth just shy of $100,000 a pop.
