  • Despite previous losses, MicroStrategy has remained committed to its Bitcoin strategy and continues to make regular purchases.

With the current price of Bitcoin at around $30,300, MicroStrategy’s latest purchase puts the company in a profitable position, with a profit of $650 per Bitcoin.

MicroStrategy’s Commitment to Bitcoin

Despite facing losses on its investments in the past, MicroStrategy has remained steadfast in its Bitcoin strategy. The company has consistently continued to buy Bitcoin, with its most recent purchases including 301 BTC, 2,500 BTC, 6,455 BTC, and 1,045 BTC.

The fact that MicroStrategy has increased its Bitcoin purchases despite the rising price of the cryptocurrency has not gone unnoticed. It is believed that the recent applications for spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) by BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, and other trillion-dollar investment firms have influenced these investments.

The Impact of ETF Applications

Many market analysts predict that the approval of Bitcoin ETF applications will trigger a bull run in the cryptocurrency market. MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor has also expressed a similar sentiment, stating that spot ETF applications are a bullish factor.

As the cryptocurrency market continues to evolve, MicroStrategy’s commitment to Bitcoin and its ongoing purchases demonstrate the company’s confidence in the long-term potential of the cryptocurrency.
