Canadian Public Company Adopts MicroStrategy’s Playbook

As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say that Kontrol Technologies’ decision to invest in Bitcoin is both intriguing and strategic. Having closely observed the burgeoning cryptocurrency market since its inception, I can attest to its potential for significant returns, especially considering MicroStrategy’s success with a similar strategy.


In a recent press statement, Kontrol Technologies – a Canadian corporation specializing in smart building and city solutions – disclosed they’ve added Bitcoin to their financial holdings on a Friday announcement.

The business intends to invest one million dollars in Bitcoin, with further purchases planned using their incoming cash and reserves, emulating a strategy similar to that of MicroStrategy.

The shares of Kontrol Technologies Corp Instrument Symbol (KNR-NE) are up 4.88% on the announcement. 

In a recent statement, Paul Ghezzi, the head of Kontrol, acknowledged the increasing institutional acceptance of cryptocurrencies and expressed that it was opportune for the company to join the Bitcoin trend.

The move by the firm to invest in Bitcoin could draw skepticism, considering its primary focus on renewable energy and resource conservation. Critics may contend that this financial commitment could potentially contradict its mission to foster sustainable architecture, as Bitcoin has gained notoriety for being an energy-intensive operation.

On the other hand, Ghezzi points out that Bitcoin mining is progressively adopting eco-friendly methods, as miners are now leveraging sustainable energy options like solar power and wind energy.

Besides considering the inclusion of Bitcoin on its assets, Kontrol Technologies is also investigating prospective collaborations within the mining industry. These collaborations aim to leverage excess energy for running building infrastructures. However, the company has not finalized any such partnerships as of yet.

To share some fresh updates, the business intelligence company MicroStrategy has unveiled a strategy to potentially gather up to $42 billion for further investments in Bitcoin. This Virginia-based corporation currently holds an impressive $17.8 billion worth of Bitcoin in its portfolio.
