Analysts from the investment bank Benchmark predict that MicroStrategy, a company actively investing in Bitcoin, may diversify its revenue by starting to issue loans in the leading cryptocurrency.
Why It Matters
MicroStrategy holds one of the largest corporate Bitcoin positions, with over 152,800 BTC. However, the annual interest on loans taken to purchase Bitcoin requires additional sources of income.
Possible Steps
Experts suggest that issuing loans in Bitcoin could:
- Partially offset the costs of debt servicing.
- Create a new source of income.
- Strengthen MicroStrategy’s position in the cryptocurrency financial products market.
Strategic Context
Recently, MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor emphasized the company’s long-term strategy, in which Bitcoin is viewed as a reliable store of value. Offering Bitcoin loans could be the next logical step for a company that continues to lead corporate investments in digital assets.
MicroStrategy is actively exploring new ways to utilize its Bitcoin assets, which could indicate further expansion into the cryptocurrency space.
