MicroStrategy’s latest purchase came as BTC price retreated from the recent highs of $53,000. While some analysts say BTC could dip below $50k and likely bounce from the $48k support level, many remain extremely bullish.
On February 20, Saylor called BTC “the exit strategy” highlighting his company’s long term view.
The company bought $615 million worth of BTC in December 2023.
