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 stockpile—purchased for an average price of $62,503 at the end of 2024, and now worth just shy of $100,000 a pop.
