The firm’s CEO and notorious Bitcoin bull, Michael Saylor, has always been open about MicroStrategy’s ambitions to “hodl”. In May he said:

“We are in it for the long term … Our strategy is to buy bitcoin and hold the bitcoin, so there’s no price target. I expect we’ll be buying bitcoin at the local top forever.

I expect bitcoin is going to go into the millions. So, we’re very patient. We think it’s the future of money.”

Saylor had also said that Bitcoin is a safe haven, with his firm continuing to buy forever.
