MicroStrategy executives are looking for blockchain experts who could help the publicly traded company build a suite of bitcoin data services.
What exactly these services might be, when would they be online, and how they would be monetized are still open questions. But in a conference call on November 16, CEO Michael Saylor, who led MicroStrategy’s nine-digit bitcoin allocations this summer, told investors that his company is eager to “leverage” its business experience. intelligence in the bitcoin data space.
“There is a whole expanding universe of intelligence opportunities wrapped around this kind of unique bitcoin intelligence coming out of the blockchain,” he said. “And we’ll explore it all.”
As reported for the first time by The Block, the comments mark a potential expansion by one of the single biggest participants in the current bitcoin bull run: from pure bitcoin investor (and node runner) to a company even in the bitcoin business.
To be sure, “we still don’t have anything that we’re sure makes sense to market,” Saylor told investors.
But the company is still setting up antennas for new hires.
“We are actively seeking to find and recruit talented people with blockchain experience who would like to join us on this journey,” said Tim Lang, Chief Technology Officer.
