Saylor says there "may be opportunities to either put a mortgage against it and generate long-term debt under favorable circumstances." The MicroStrategy CEO also suggests the company could simply "lend it [bitcoin] to a trustworthy counterparty."

"That could become a good source of income for us, or we could develop it with some kind of interesting applications," Saylor noted.
