Bitcoin Price Skyrockets Above $100K as MicroStrategy Announces Latest Purchase

It has taken roughly three weeks for bitcoin to come out of the woods, skyrocket past $100,000, and tap a yearly peak of over $101,000. This came after the most recent MicroStrategy purchase, which is sort of unexpected given the developments after the previous such occasions. CryptoPotato reported last Monday, just after the NASDAQ-listed giant announced its then-latest BTC purchase, that the cryptocurrency plunged hard, going from over $94,000 to a monthly low of $91,300. Interestingly, similar price drops transpired after each of the previous MicroStrategy, otherwise bullish acquisitions. Now, though, the largest digital asset went on the offensive within an hour of the Saylor-led company’s announcement on X. It went from $98,000 to its highest price tag since December 19 of over $101,000. BTC/USD.

This time, the business intelligence software firm bought only 1,070 BTC for $101 million at an average price of $94,004 per one. This is a stark contrast from some of the multi-billion dollar purchases completed in November and early December. Nevertheless, most recent reports indicated that the company aims to raise another $2 billion to accumulate more of the cryptocurrency. MicroStrategy has acquired 1,070 BTC for ~$101 million at ~$94,004 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 48.0% in Q4 2024 and 74.3% in FY 2024. As of 01/05/2025, we hodl 447,470 $BTC acquired for ~$27.97 billion at ~$62,503 per bitcoin. $MSTR https://t.co/CkLrLSkB5M — Michael Saylor (@saylor) January 6, 2025 The post Bitcoin Price Skyrockets Above $100K as MicroStrategy Announces Latest Purchase appeared first on CryptoPotato .
