Meanwhile, MicroStrategy, led by Michael Saylor, has been aggressively increasing its bitcoin holdings. In its latest acquisition spree from Feb. 26 to Mar. 10, MicroStrategy purchased an additional 12,000 Bitcoins for approximately $821.7 million, bringing its total holdings to 205,000 BTC. This surpasses BlackRock Bitcoin holdings, establishing MicroStrategy as a formidable presence in the crypto space.
MicroStrategy funded its latest purchase using $781.1 million from a recent private offering of convertible senior notes alongside $40.6 million in excess cash.
Together with BlackRock Bitcoin holdings, MicroStrategy’s acquisition signals the growing influence of corporate entities in the cryptocurrency market. Institutional demand for Bitcoin continues to rise, as evidenced by the collective assets of newly launched Bitcoin ETFs, which now amount to $28 billion. Grayscale’s GBTC remains a notable player, holding around 400,000 tokens.
The bullish sentiment in the cryptocurrency market was further underscored on March 8, when Bitcoin’s price surged past the $72,000 mark for the first time.
