If you pay out a dividend, you force your shareholders to pay income tax rates.
But, if you can use company profits in a way that pumps the stock valuation, your shareholders can effectively take the same profits with long term cap gains tax. My understanding is that a stock buyback is basically this strategy, and MicroStrategy's CEO has said that he also considered that.
MSTR is up ~100% since they first bought bitcoin.
This is at least, my amateur understanding that could be wrong.
