I don't think they are, but they could... Would seem like they may want some skin in the mining game to help protect their stack.
Does MSTR mine or run a pool at all? I can't seem to find any reference to it. It would seem wise to start building their own consortium of miners to prevent any collusion by larger pools.
Went out and rode it today, got some new winter riding gear for my birthday last week, was very warm! I used to commute in Chicago all year round, I'm ready for the winter riding.
You inspired me to get out to my local and cleanup, thanks! Over a mile of trail ready for winter riding! 
Just saw your previous post as well, thanks!
The snow has arrived... #tinywhoop season is here! #FPV
NIP05 verified!
Just raked 1/2 mile of #mtb trail solo. My arms are going to fall off. But after 2 crashes yesterday on the very slippery leaves, it was well worth it. #ShoreAcres #FeltMansion
Anybody around here fly #FPV drones?
