As U.Today reported, earlier this week, Michael Saylor shared the Bitcoin proceeds his company received for MSTR holders last week — these are the shareholders who helped MicroStrategy raise money to buy Bitcoin over the past two years and bought its convertible notes.
According to his tweet, last week, MicroStrategy's treasury operations helped generate a 0.72% BTC return which equates to a net interest of 3,177 BTC. At the time this tweet was posted, that amount included roughly $299 million — a “Bitcoin gift” to MSTR shareholders, according to Saylor.
