MicroStrategy acquires an additional $243 million worth of bitcoin!
Michael Saylor's company MicroStrategy has just made a massive purchase of 2,530 additional BTC for a price of $243 million. This acquisition took place during a market correction, where the price of BTC fell below the psychological $100,000 mark starting on January 7. Indeed, MicroStrategy took advantage of this drop to buy BTC at an average price of $95,972.
With this new acquisition, MicroStrategy now owns over 450,000 BTC, acquired for a total of $28.2 billion at an average price of $62,691 per bitcoin. This position reinforces the company's strategy to position itself as a major player in the crypto ecosystem.
BTC faces persistent challenges
MicroStrategy's massive purchase of BTCas well as by other cryptocurrency hedge funds, has led to a decrease in bitcoin reserves on exchanges, reaching a level close to that observed seven years ago! Which could signal an impending “supply shock,” where strong buyer demand meets a decreasing supply of BTC, leading to price appreciation.
Furthermore, the strength of the US dollar, supported by the restrictive monetary policies of the FED, continues to weigh on the price of bitcoin. Analysts at Bybit Research note that BTC and cryptocurrencies react strongly to macroeconomic news, particularly the slow pace of interest rate cuts by the Fed in 2025.
In short, this purchase of bitcoin by MicroStrategy during a market correction underlines the company's confidence in the long-term potential of this cryptocurrency. However, macroeconomic challenges persist, and investors will need to remain vigilant against market fluctuations.
