Top business intelligence firm MicroStrategy has been very active in the Bitcoin (BTC) market. The publicly-traded company recently announced that it has bought an additional 256 BTC, worth about $10 Million.
As a result, it has taken its entire BTC holding to 71,000, which is about $2.5 Billion based on current market value.
Rise of Institution Bitcoin Adoption
Chief Executive Officer of MicroStrategy Michael Saylor was addressing shareholders during the company’s fourth quarter financial results.
He said the company’s decision to make Bitcoin its main treasury reserve has put the company in the forefront as a leader and takes into account the greater interest of MicroStrategy as a company. It has also made the company “a thought leader in the cryptocurrency market,” he stated.
Saylor added that the company plans to hold more Bitcoin and invest in the acquisition of more BTC in line with its corporate strategy.
“Additionally, we will explore various approaches to acquire additional BTC as part of our overall corporate strategy,” he reiterated.
During its 2020 fourth-quarter report, Grayscale opined that major Wall Street firms are gradually paying more attention to Bitcoin and institutional Bitcoin adoption is on the increase.
Apart from MicroStrategy, other institutional investors are also stacking Bitcoin. Many of them are still buying any additional Bitcoin as much as they can in hope of a further movement of the coin in the future.
