They stated:

Our primary policy is to hold Bitcoin for the long term; however, if Bitcoin is used in operations, the applicable Bitcoin balance will be classified as a current asset on the balance sheet.

This is a continuation of the upward trend seen since the company shifted its focus to Bitcoin , with its shares up more than 458.13% since the beginning of the year.
