      3. Financial, Operational, Systems, & Execution Considerations

In order to accelerate corporate adoption & facilitate the development of best practices, MicroStrategy will make publicly available certain documents & information that it used in implementing Bitcoin as a primary treasury reserve asset so that other firms interested in adopting a Bitcoin strategy can refer to them.  We plan to provide registrants access to these materials prior to the conference.
