In August 2020, MicroStrategy invested $250 million in Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset, citing declining returns from cash, a weakening dollar and other global macroeconomic factors. The company went on to make several additional large purchases of Bitcoin; as of January 2022, the company has spent around $3.75 billion purchasing Bitcoin at an average purchase price of about $30,159 per Bitcoin. Saylor is the main driver behind this strategy.
