AS reported by U.TodayDell vaguely hinted at its “orange pilling” with a social media post Thursday about scarcity creating value.
The 59-year-old businessman, whose net worth is estimated at $113.5 billion, went on to repost a presentation from MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor, seemingly confirming the speculation.
His latest post with the cookie monster leaves no doubt about Dell’s newfound interest in Bitcoin.
Some Bitcoiners have urged the centibillionaire to follow the lead of Saylor and Tesla CEO Elon Musk by putting Bitcoin on Dell’s balance sheet.
Dell is no stranger to Bitcoin. In 2014 he repeatedly tweeted that the IT giant had started accepting the largest cryptocurrency for payments. However, Dell dropped support for Bitcoin in 2017 due to weak demand.
During a 2021 interview with the New York Times DealBook newsletter, Dell said yes bullish on blockchain technology, calling it “underrated.” However, he refused to share his opinion on Bitcoin at the time.
Today, Dell also shared a survey on the next technological breakthrough, listing blockchain alongside cutting-edge technologies like quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and space technology.
In early 2023, the IT giant also joined Hedera’s Board of Directors to develop applications for decentralized environments.
