Dean: Hello From Bitcoin Miami! 🏝
It may seem crazy now, but in hindsight, more people will look back and wonder how they missed out on cryptos at these prices. Bitcoin is already up 65% year to date and showing no signs of stopping.
And by now, you probably know that Paul, our lead analyst, believes that bitcoin is a hedge against inflation and the U.S. financial system that’s slowly breaking.
One reason we’re bullish on bitcoin is because you can’t just print more of it like the U.S. dollar. In fact, bitcoin’s supply is capped at 21 million coins.
And since we’re long on bitcoin, we decided to attend Bitcoin Miami, one of the biggest bitcoin conferences in the world!
We’ll hear from the likes of presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Michael Saylor — both of whom are bitcoin bulls!
Most importantly, we hope to bring value back from Bitcoin Miami to our readers and continue to build the ATG Digital community!
But for now, we’ll have to settle for an update on one company betting big on bitcoin!
1 HUGE Bet on Bitcoin 🪙
The CEO of the company I’m focusing on today is a bitcoin fanatic. When ridiculed for the price of the company’s bitcoin holdings crashing, he doubled down and bought more.
I’m referring to Michael Saylor, pictured above (to the far right). He’s the CEO of MicroStrategy Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR).
MSTR 0.00%↑ is the largest publicly traded business intelligence and analytics software provider. It offers a range of data analytics and visualization tools for businesses and organizations.
Various industries, including finance, healthcare, retail, and telecommunications use MSTR 0.00%↑’s products. Its customers include major companies such as United Healthcare, Sony, and McDonald's.
It’s also the world’s largest publicly traded corporate holder of bitcoin and the first public company to adopt the cryptocurrency as a primary treasury reserve asset!
Saylor has steadily increased the company’s bitcoin holding over the past years:
Its bitcoin position alone represents a total of $3.8 billion, slightly more than MSTR 0.00%↑’s market cap of $3.7 billion!
And if we use bitcoin’s last all-time high of about $68,000 — well, the value of its bitcoin holdings would balloon to a whopping $9.5 billion! 🤯
But remember, this is just one aspect of its business.
It Just Gets Better
On May 1, MSTR 0.00%↑ reported year-over-year revenue growth of 2% to $121.9 million. Now 2% may seem underwhelming, but take a look at the areas the company is growing:
As Paul always says, you can never judge a company by one quarter alone. And looking forward, MSTR 0.00%↑ is investing in artificial intelligence (AI) in a big way:
As you may already know, the AI market is set to explode:
With $94.3 million in cash, irrespective of its bitcoin holdings, it has more than enough cash to seize opportunity in the AI market!
Given MSTR 0.00%↑’s innovative bitcoin acquisition strategy, its thriving Software as a Service (SaaS) business model, its healthy balance sheet and desire to expand into booming markets — we’ll continue to hold it in our Gold Tier portfolio.
This portfolio houses dozens of innovative companies with similar or better potential.

#GBC100: Friday, May 19, 2023
The #GBC100 is down 1.11% today.
The narrative driving daily pricing/trading behavior is shifting to pricing in declining inflation and low growth. In this environment, assets showing long term growth are more valuable.
Why?
Because this growth is increasingly scarce. Also, with deflation looming (because of declining prices, low growth, and high interest rates), their future cash flows are gaining value.
Remember that under inflation, future cash flows lose value as they “inflated” away as money is expected to be more plentiful and less scarce.
And under deflation, future cash flows gain value because money is expected to be tight and scarce.
Innovation/growth companies are just beginning their economic lives. Their cash flows are expected to grow and grow and grow. And under deflation, these cash flows have rising value today.
Bottom line, we’re positioned to benefit in a big way as this scenario unfolds because these are the assets we own across our portfolios.
I’m very #BOP for what’s unfolding for us!
Next Week: We’ll start off with another great piece from Paul. 👏 Stay tuned!
Happy Friday! 🥳️
