In 2020 and into 2021, there\u2019s been a major expansion of the M2 money supply<\/a> as estimates believe 25-30%<\/a> of all USD in existence was printed last year. This has led to a number of firms exchanging cash and bonds for bitcoin (BTC)<\/a> in order to protect the company from devaluing fiat.<\/p>\n Microstrategy executive, Michael Saylor<\/a>, wholeheartedly believes in bitcoin, as the firm has sparked a trend of companies adding BTC to their treasuries<\/a>. This week, news.Bitcoin.com reported<\/a> on Saylor predicting a massive shift in investor interest from gold to bitcoin. That same day, Microstrategy announced that the firm had purchased another $10 million worth of BTC<\/a>. The business intelligence (BI) company now holds an aggregate total of 71,079 BTC<\/a>, worth $2.6 billion using today\u2019s exchange rates.<\/p>\n The day before Microstrategy\u2019s corporate virtual conference, Saylor said that 1,400 firms would be joining the event. \u201cIf you are interested in the legal considerations firms face while integrating bitcoin into their corporate strategy, you are not alone,\u201d Saylor tweeted<\/a>. \u201cWe have professionals from more than 1,400 firms joining us tomorrow for this discussion. There is still time for your legal team to attend,\u201d the executive added.<\/p>\n <\/ins> <\/ins> <\/p>\n During the event on Wednesday, participants could learn about how preserving wealth is extremely difficult in 2020 and beyond. Moreover, capital costs have jumped significantly, and the virtual conference gave participants a great overview of bitcoin-based corporate strategies and operational considerations. While speaking at the event, Michael Saylor said he expects big things for bitcoin and expects a herd of firms to join the growing bitcoin treasuries list.<\/p>\n \u201cThe reason we\u2019re having this conference is to help everybody else figure out what they should do,\u201d the executive said<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Microstrategy CEO also added:<\/p>\n The simple solution is [to] convert some of that cash into bitcoin\u2014 We did it, Square did it. You\u2019re going to see an avalanche of companies in the coming 12 months also converting their balance sheets into bitcoin because it\u2019s a scarce digital safe-haven asset.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n During the day, Saylor\u2019s avalanche quote was shared<\/a> on forums and across the Twitter-sphere, as scores of community members want more institutional investors to join the bitcoin space.<\/p>\n Microstrategy certainly started a trend in 2020, getting numerous publicly listed and private firms to add BTC<\/a> to their balance sheets. According to bitcointreasuries.org<\/a>, 1,233,038 BTC<\/a>, or 5.87% of the entire supply is held by corporate entities.
