With the money Microstrategy made from consulting, they were able to invest in their real innovation - data mining.
Microstrategy would go on to found alarm.com and other business units, and eventually go public in 1998.
It wasn't until August of 2020 that Microstrategy made its first purchase of Bitcoin.
It began with a $250M investment to purchase 21,454 bitcoins at an average price of $11,652 per bitcoin.
It would go on to purchase over $2.2B in bitcoin and is actively raising an additional $400M to buy more.

Meitu is a little bit different from other companies on this list.
Meitu is a photo-editing app made by a company of the same name based out of Hong Kong.
In March of 2021, Meitu used some of its cash reserves to purchase $17.9MM worth of Bitcoin plus another $22MM in other altcoins.
Meitu issued a press release following the purchase, stating “(t)he Board believes cryptocurrencies have ample room for appreciation in value and by allocating part of its treasury in cryptocurrencies can also serve as a diversification to holding cash in treasury management (which is subject to depreciation pressure due to aggressive increases in money supply by central banks globally).”
Meitu followed these comments by stating they are looking for way to implement blockchain into their apps, thought that idea seems less feasible to experts.
