Bitcoin’s recent price fluctuations have caught the attention of the crypto community, with the asset briefly dipping below $100,000 during the last week of January.
Amid the volatility, CNBC’s Mad Money host Jim Cramer stirred discussion with his comments on Bitcoin, adding a mix of optimism and uncertainty to the market.
On a recent episode of his show, Cramer urged investors to hold Bitcoin, calling it a valuable addition to any portfolio. “I own Bitcoin, you should own Bitcoin,” he emphasized.
However, he raised eyebrows by advising against investing in MicroStrategy, a major Bitcoin holder with over 417,107 BTC, without elaborating on his reasoning.
Cramer’s remarks reignited the “Inverse Cramer” phenomenon, a humorous market theory suggesting that his predictions often yield opposite outcomes. While some speculated that Bitcoin’s price might drop further, the asset defied expectations, rebounding after its earlier decline.
Currently trading at $102,750, Bitcoin has gained nearly 4% in the past 24 hours, recovering from a low of $97,795 earlier in the day. Despite ongoing volatility, the market remains cautiously optimistic about the cryptocurrency’s potential for further growth.
Bitcoin giant Strategy has added another 4,980 BTC to its reserves in a purchase worth approximately $531.9 million, according to Executive Chairman Michael Saylor.
According to renowned market veteran Peter Brandt, trading isn’t the path to prosperity for the vast majority of people.
Charles Edwards, founder and CEO of Capriole Investments, has offered a fresh perspective on Bitcoin’s stalled price movement near the $100,000 mark, despite growing institutional enthusiasm.
Metaplanet has expanded its Bitcoin treasury with a new acquisition of 1,005 BTC valued at approximately $108.1 million, further cementing its status as one of the largest corporate holders of the digital asset.
