MicroStrategy is the single largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, with 205,000 of the digital coins in its treasury—more than $15 billion at today's prices.

It first bought Bitcoin back in 2020. The company's former CEO and now-chairman Michael Saylor claims the crypto strategy is the best way to preserve wealth and get returns for shareholders.

Bitcoin is today priced at $73,220 per coin, up nearly 9% in seven days, CoinGecko data shows. It hit a new all-time high above $73,600 earlier today.
