MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin investment is one of the largest and most influential in the corporate world. The company has also taken on debt to finance its Bitcoin purchases, which could pose risks if the price of Bitcoin drops significantly. However, MicroStrategy has a long-term vision and is confident that Bitcoin will continue to appreciate in value.
