Since Embracing Bitcoin 4 Years Ago, Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy Has Outperformed Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Returns
Software development firm MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:MSTR) hasn't been the same since it embraced Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) four years ago, with the firm's stock returning more to its investors than Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:BRK) (NYSE:BRK) throughout this time.
軟件開發公司微策略公司（納斯達克股票代碼：MSTR）自四年前採用比特幣（加密貨幣：BTC）以來就不一樣了，在這段時間裏，該公司的股票給投資者的回報超過了禾倫·巴菲特的伯克希爾·哈撒韋公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：BRK）（紐約證券交易所代碼：BRK）。
What Happened: MicroStrategy adopted Bitcoin as its primary reserve asset on August 10, 2020, becoming the first publicly listed company to pursue this strategy.
發生了什麼：微策略於2020年8月10日採用比特幣作爲其主要儲備資產，成爲第一家推行該戰略的上市公司。
Since then, shares of the so-called Bitcoin development company have soared 839%. Interestingly, the stock has outperformed even Bitcoin's returns, with the cryptocurrency growing by 393%.
從那時起，所謂的比特幣開發公司的股價飆升了839％。有趣的是，該股的表現甚至超過了比特幣的回報，加密貨幣增長了393％。
Meanwhile, Berkshire Hathaway's stock has just about doubled in value since Aug. 10, 2020, or a growth of 101%
同時，自2020年8月10日以來，伯克希爾·哈撒韋公司的股票價值剛剛翻了一番，增長了101％
It was pertinent to note that the firm's top executives have been some of the harshest critics of Bitcoin.
值得注意的是，該公司的高層管理人員一直是比特幣最嚴厲的批評者之一。
In an interview with CNBC in May 2018, Buffett described Bitcoin as "rat poison" and said he wouldn't buy it even if it dropped to $25.
在2018年5月接受CNBC採訪時，巴菲特將比特幣描述爲 「老鼠毒藥」，並表示即使比特幣跌至25美元，他也不會購買。
In May 2021, the late vice chairman Charlie Munger went to the extent of labeling the apex cryptocurrency "disgusting and contrary to the interests of civilization."
2021年5月，已故副主席查理·芒格甚至將這種頂級加密貨幣標記爲 「令人作嘔，違背文明利益」。

Why It Matters: MicroStrategy's Bitcoin corporate reserve strategy has been driven by its co-founder, Michael Saylor's unwavering support of the digital asset.
爲何重要：MicroStrategy的比特幣企業儲備戰略是由其聯合創始人邁克爾·塞勒對數字資產的堅定支持推動的。
He recently disclosed owning nearly $1 billion worth of BTCs in a personal capacity, separate from $13.2 billion worth of the currency held in MicroStrategy's reserves.
他最近透露，他以個人身份擁有價值近10億美元的比特幣，而微策略儲備中持有的價值132億美元的比特幣是分開的。
At the current market value, the company's paper gains on Bitcoin were roughly 60%. The company also revealed plans to raise up to $2 billion through equity sales to acquire more Bitcoin.
按目前的市值計算，該公司在比特幣上的票面收益約爲60％。該公司還透露了通過股票出售籌集高達20億美元的資金以收購更多比特幣的計劃。
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $58,442.49, down 4.86% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro. Shares of MicroStrategy ended 0.46% down at $135.37 at Friday's market close.
