MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) is both domain famous and bitcoin famous.

The firm purchased lots of great domain names early on, such as Alert.com, Courage.com, Mike.com and Usher.com.

Then, last year, the firm sold one of its domains for a record amount: Voice.com for $30 million.

Voice.com sold to a cryptocurrency firm. MicroStrategy then went big on bitcoin, buying $425 million of bitcoin.

MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor was on The Pomp Podcast this stretch.  He talked regarding why his firm purchased so many great domains and gave details on selling Voice.com.

It’s a great interview. Saylor explains that the first offer was for only $150,000, and he kept ignoring them. He told them not to bother him until it was at least $10 million.
