Business intelligence firm MicroStrategy is now looking for ways to generate returns on its Bitcoin stash.
During the company’s investor day with shareholders, CEO Michael Saylor said they could loan some of the Bitcoin holdings to a “trusted counterparty.”
It would put the company in some sort of partnership with a bank or a big tech company. “You might think of it as a privilege,” Saylor said.
“It could become a good source of income for us, or we could develop it with interesting applications. “
Saylor added that the company could also “put a mortgage on it” to generate long-term debt under favorable circumstances.
As of yet, no formal action has been taken on any of the potential options, Saylor noted during the virtual presentation.
