MicroStrategy's bitcoin holdings are stored in custody accounts at U.S.-based, institutional-grade custodians that have demonstrated records of regulatory compliance and information security.

MicroStrategy carefully selects its custodians and evaluates their ability to operate with strict security protocols, including multifactor authentication procedures designed to safekeep the company's bitcoin. However, the company's bitcoin acquisition strategy exposes it to various risks associated with bitcoin, such as the risk of non-performance by counterparties, the risk of loss or destruction of private keys, and the risk of cyberattacks or other data loss relating to its bitcoin.

Despite these risks, MicroStrategy believes that bitcoin is an attractive asset because it can serve as a store of value, supported by a robust and public open-source architecture, that is untethered to sovereign monetary policy. The company's bitcoin holdings are susceptible to all of the risks inherent in holding any electronic data, such as power failure, data corruption, security breach, communication failure, and user error, among others.
