Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy continues to expand its Bitcoin reserves, showing their undeniable optimism for the crypto market bull run.
Less than 30 minutes ago, Michael Saylor announced via X (previously Twitter), that his company bought another 7,420 BTC for approximately $458.2 million – or $61,750 per coin on average.
This led to the achievement of a 5.1% QTD of 5.1% and YTD of 17.8%. The returns on their investment are quite notable and many other instituional investors are following their example and adjusting their strategies to adopt BTC.
As of September 19, 2024, MicroStrategy holds 252,220 BTC worth around $9.9 billion with an average price of $39,566 per coin.
Earlier today the company announced that it raised $1.01 billion at 0.625% interest rate to buy more Bitcoin.
At the time of writing Bitcoin is trading at $62,740 after an 8% weekly surge and has a market cap of $1.24 trillion.
After weeks of intense institutional activity that helped push Bitcoin above $100,000, inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took a breather between May 6 and May 12.
Bitcoin’s rapid recovery beyond $104,000 has sparked a wave of optimism in crypto circles, but the bigger question remains: is this just the beginning?
While Bitcoin’s price has recently rebounded, the enthusiasm for spot ETFs appears to be cooling. Weekly inflows into U.S. Bitcoin ETFs have dropped sharply, signaling a pause in aggressive institutional accumulation.
A wave of optimism swept through global markets as the United States and China took decisive steps to de-escalate their long-running trade dispute.
