Ціни на BTC різко впали незабаром після анонсу MicroStrategy про купівлю 3,907 біткойнів приблизно за $ 177 млн

On August 24th, MicroStrategy acquired some extra 3,907 bitcoins at about $177 million in cash. MicroStrategy Incorporated CEO Michael Saylor made this announcement via Twitter.

The Firm Is On a Bitcoin Acquisition Spree

The US-based NASDAQ-listed business intelligence firm is said to be on a bitcoin acquisition binge. The firm purchased almost 4,000 bitcoins at about $45,294 per bitcoin. According to Saylor, bitcoin accumulated by the business adds to the company’s stash to 108,992 bitcoins.

The firm allocated most of its corporate treasuries to Bitcoin.

Buying BTC Will Make You Richer

Saylor also talked about a bash fiesta from Peter Schiff – the renowned bitcoin critic and gold supporter. Schiff affirmed that people buy gold to stay rich but not become rich. Simultaneously, he noted people are hopeful in bitcoin to generate wealth.

However, Saylor sees BTC as a digital asset with great potential to make you richer. He said that buying bitcoin creates a better chance of wealth creation than gold. So, gold’s issue is that it is an ancient idea that stopped being functional in 1914, he added. It does not сприяти to digital transformation where our world is headed.

Also, Saylor had сказав that he would not be forced to sell his or the company’s BTC stash. This stand would remain even if bitcoin’s value plummets.

The business intelligence giant owns more Bitcoin than any other public limited company globally. It has thus placed itself as a global leader in pushing for other firms to convert their balance sheets into Bitcoin.
