MicroStrategy CEO Phong Le said the firm isn’t shying away from its Bitcoin strategy any time soon.“Our commitment to acquire and hold bitcoin remains strong, especially with the promising backdrop of potential increased institutional adoption.”


The firm’s revenue increased 3% year-on-year to $129.5 million over the quarter; however, it wasn’t enough to keep the firm out of the red, recording a net loss of $143.4 million.


While Bitcoin’s price has surged again of late, BTC fell 11.5% from $30,480 to $26,970 during the third quarter (July 1 to Sept. 30).


MicroStrategy capitalized on this downward period, buying the 6,067 BTC for an average price of $27,590.


The firm is also confident in where its artificial intelligence-integrated business analytics products are situated, with its software licenses and subscription services increasing 16% and 28% year-over-year.
