According to his Twitter message and a screenshot included in the tweet, several individuals have sent MicroStrategy's co-founder the smallest denomination of Bitcoin (BTC), Satoshi.
This innovative integration is made possible by the Lightning Address protocol, allowing to connect an "Internet Identifier," such as an email address, instead of copying wallet addresses or scanning QR codes. It remains uncertain if the feature has been implemented across all MicroStrategy corporate emails.
This integration aligns with Saylor's role as the guiding force behind MicroStrategy's Bitcoin investment strategy, aimed at fortifying the company's balance sheet.
In November 2022 tweet, Michael Saylor shared a pro-Bitcoin and Lightning Network stance, claiming that it is a great way to "reduce dependence on Big Tech, Big Banking, and Big Advertising."
Integrating payment systems and upgrading business models based on #Bitcoin & #Lightning is a great way to reduce dependence on Big Tech, Big Banking, and Big Advertising. Lightning is an open, ethical, scalable way to move money everywhere on earth, without gatekeepers.
Since March 2021, MicroStrategy has spent $4.17 billion acquiring 140,000 BTC, with an average purchase price of $29,800 per coin. Most recently, at the beginning of April, MicroStrategy purchased 1,045 BTC.
With Bitcoin's current price hovering around $29,800, MicroStrategy's total investment is down by around 1%. Nevertheless, the firm enjoyed a brief return to profitability last week when Bitcoin's value exceeded $30,000.
The integration of Bitcoin Lightning Network with Saylor's corporate email is a testament to MicroStrategy's unwavering commitment to Bitcoin, further solidifying the company's position as a key player in the crypto landscape.
