June 20th, President Donald Trump posted the following on social media: “The Radical Left Democrats and the lamestream media know how great a job we did with the strike on Iran. Their country was a total sitting duck, and the Iranian government now holds military control over things. Obama didn’t have a clue. He gave Iran $150 billion, never used our exhausted military to stop a completely one-sided deal that benefited terrorists heavily. The Iranian people have little respect for him, and he would’ve never succeeded anyway. Iran has been terrorizing its people for the past 47 years—until I took office. Then everything changed.”

Osaka Prefectural Police arrested three men on June 20 on suspicion of violating Japan’s Organized Crime Punishment Law, according to Kyodo News.

At the time, the firm held 130,000 BTC valued at roughly $26 billion, and its split-adjusted MSTR stock was trading at about $24. Just weeks later, Bitcoin dropped below $16,000, leaving Strategy’s total debt temporarily larger than its combined Bitcoin and cash reserves (a roughly $3 billion shortfall).

Over that stretch, they’ve raised more than $60 billion—every dollar put entirely toward accumulating more Bitcoin, adding over 716,000 BTC to their holdings. Today, MicroStrategy’s total Bitcoin and cash reserves sit roughly $48 billion above its total debt. Saylor also thanked everyone who’s believed in the company, stuck
