Odaily Planet Daily News MicroStrategy co-founder and executive chairman Michael Saylor said on Wednesday that he is willing to provide consulting support to President-elect Trump on encryption issues if he needs it. He said: "I am always willing to put forward ideas on constructive digital asset policies privately or publicly. If someone invites me to join some kind of digital asset advisory committee, I might do so." Although Saylor confirmed that he had met with many people in the incoming Trump administration, he declined to provide more details. When talking about MicroStrategy's concerns about reclassification, Saylor insisted that the company is not entirely dependent on Bitcoin investment, and the software department has considerable operating income, estimated to be about $75 million per year. He noted that there are no plans to spin it off from MicroStrategy, "The business is highly profitable and is a core part of the company's identity. We now also primarily see ourselves as a Bitcoin finance company. Therefore, the main way to create shareholder value is through our financial operations." He added: "There are three ways to create value for shareholders: one is operating income, and our software business generates approximately $75 million in operating income each year. The other is investment income, which is difficult to track. But we currently have $18.6 billion in unrealized investment income." He said the company is "undergoing" strategic acquisitions similar to other technology companies such as Apple.
