The development comes at a time when Bitcoin was trading at $42,934 after a 16% monthly increase. The NASDAQ-listed business intelligence software giant poured in $600 million to buy 16,130 BTC more for an average price of $36,785 per Bitcoin almost a month ago. MicroStrategy experienced a turnaround in November this year as it gained more than $1 billion in unrealized profits from Bitcoin, bouncing back from a $1 billion loss in 2022 attributed to the surge in crypto’s value. With the latest purchase, this figure has gone up, with reports suggesting that the company currently stands at $2.21 billion in profit on its $5.9 billion Bitcoin investment. Despite the slump and excessive volatility following the 2022 market downturn, Saylor continued to be a long-standing advocate of Bitcoin. The exec recently forecasted a tenfold surge in the asset’s value by 2024, attributing this potential bull run to factors such as the upcoming halving as well as the potential approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF.
