On behalf of MicroStrategy Incorporated (“MicroStrategy”), I am responding to the comment contained in the letter dated May 8, 2023 from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to Andrew Kang, Senior Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer of MicroStrategy, relating to MicroStrategy’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022

Note 4. Digital Assets, page 88
Comment:
| 1. | We note your response to prior comment 3 and your revised disclosures in your recent Form 10-Q filing where you included the market value at quarter end of bitcoin pledged as collateral. Please also revise your financial statement footnotes disclosures to provide the dollar amount of bitcoin included in your digital asset balance sheet line item at period end that is pledged as collateral. |

MicroStrategy will revise its digital assets footnote disclosure in future filings to include disclosure of the dollar amount (i.e., the carrying value) of bitcoin included in the “Digital assets” balance sheet line item at period end that is pledged as collateral.
