Bitcoin focussed initiatives

In Q3 2022, Michael Saylor stepped down from his CEO role and secured the Executive Chairman position in the company. Many reports claimed that Saylor stepped down from his role because the company lost huge money because of its investment in Bitcoin.
But later, Saylor officially talked about this thing and confirmed that he took this decision as a part to increase the focus of the company on bitcoin-related works.
Last month, Saylor disclosed in a Twitter space discussion that his company is working on a “Bitcoin lightning network”, to make Bitcoin transactions affordable to people.
