MicroStrategy Making A Mark
MicroStrategy’s big claim to fame within the crypto space is thanks to its $250 million purchase of 21,000 in Bitcoin. Saylor quickly announced another purchase of 16,796 Bitcoin by the tune of $175 million. It should be noted that the firm purchased around 0.19 Bitcoin every three seconds to complete this transaction doing this over the span of 74 hours in order to achieve this.
Alongside more purchases, MicroStrategy managed to pay out $1,095 billion in order to purchase its Bitcoin holdings. However, the value of these assets saw a magnificent rise, going up 135% and turning its holdings into a hefty $2.57 billion.
