Bitcoin Whale Michael Saylor Contemplates Significant Increase in BTC Holdings
Michael Saylor, the vocal advocate of bitcoin and co-founder of the business analytics software company MicroStrategy (MSTR), has incorporated Bitcoin's Lightning Network into his company email address. This allows anyone to send bitcoin (BTC) to the 58-year-old billionaire using that email address - [email protected].
The integration utilizes The Lightning Address protocol, which enables developers to substitute a conventional Lightning invoice or payment request with an online identifier like an email address.
The Lightning Network is a layer 2 scaling solution for Bitcoin that aims to enhance the speed and affordability of bitcoin transactions.
Saylor, whose net worth is estimated to be around $1.2 billion and whose firm has acquired roughly 140,000 BTC (equivalent to about $4 billion at current market rates), has been receiving minor bitcoin donations from supporters following his tweet regarding the integration.
