Michael Dell, CEO of Dell Technologies (DELL, with a market cap of over $100 billion), showed at least some vague interest in bitcoin {{BTC}}, circulating a BTC-friendly post on X from Bitcoin evangelist Michael Saylor .
It started Thursday when Dell posted: “Scarcity creates value.” That prompted a response from Saylor, the executive chairman of MicroStrategy (MSTR), saying “Bitcoin is Digital Scarcity,” which Dell then reposted.
The exchange didn’t end there, as Dell later posted an image of the Cookie Monster from Sesame Street that had been digitally altered (apparently by Saylor) to show the famous children’s character gobbling up bitcoin instead of cookies.
As the first CEO and now executive chairman at MicroStrategy, Saylor has not only led that company to the acquisition of 226,331 bitcoin worth $15 billion over the past nearly four years (the latest being this week’s acquisition of 11,900 BTC), but he has also evangelized so that other companies would follow suit with their own balance sheets.
So far, only a small number of other companies have seen fit to make bitcoin part of their treasury strategies, and none come close to the scale of what Saylor has done with MicroStrategy.
According to a recent filing, Dell had $34.6 billion in current assets on its balance sheet as of May 3, including $5.8 billion in cash and cash equivalents. Bitcoin is not mentioned.
