Bitcoin’s pullback slashed as much as 23% from shares of crypto bull Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy on Wednesday.

Although MicroStrategy doesn’t mine bitcoin itself, the business intelligence firms is one of only a few companies to buy into bitcoin in a big way. MicroStrategy owns 71,079 bitcoins, worth an estimated $3.21 billion at current prices.

For reference, the company’s market cap is $9.25 billion as of Wednesday, meaning MicroStrategy owns a third of its net value in Bitcoin.

MicroStrategy acquired the majority of its bitcoin in 2020 at prices well below current levels. In fact, according to a press release from the company, it owned 70,470 bitcoins as of Dec 21, which were acquired at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.125 billion or $15,964 per bitcoin.

Saylor also noted he held the event “by popular demand” after he was asked for “thousands” of meetings from prospective institutional bitcoin buyers to discuss legal, logistical, and security details.

Tesla and Microstrategy may entice other corporate treasuries to hold bitcoin, but the move is risk. JPMorgan strategists led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou warned clients of the potential for increased volatility if companies start holding significant amounts of bitcoin.

“The main issue with the idea that mainstream corporate treasurers will follow the example of Tesla is the volatility of Bitcoin. The addition of BTC would cause a big increase…
