Despite the size of the purchase, the Bitcoin market was largely unimpressed, and the course fell below $ 104,000. This indicates that investors had already priced the purchase. The end of the US trade war with China should also have played a role.
Strategy is expanding its already big position in Bitcoin with the purchase. You have unrealized profits of more than $ 19 billion. Strategy’s Bitcoin assets are now valued higher than the gross domestic product of some poor countries, for example Mozambique.
The purchase followed a public hint of strategy founder Michael Saylor on Friday. However, this had triggered speculation that proved to be correct, which contributed to the fact that the course was not directly influenced.
Strategy is the largest bicoin single investor, but other companies drive the same strategy. BitWise data shows that 80 listed companies now have Bitcoin in the balance sheet. They are companies of all industries and regions and they are trendy to integrate cryptocurrency into corporate financing.
Tom Lee von Fundstrat recently noted that Bitcoin is increasingly regarded as a core component of the treasury management. He referred to his long -term performance and the inflation -resistant character as the main reasons for the interest of the companies. This shift marks a departure from earlier years when the use of Bitcoin in corporate financing was limited to a handful of experimental strategies.
The company Metaplanet listed in Tokyo has recently completed its greatest purchase. The company bought BTC worth $ 125 million in one fell swoop and thus signaled the growing interest of the Asian markets.
Observers have found that such purchases that can support the BitcoIN course. At the same time, the rise of the dominant owners raises concerns about the centralization of the distribution of bitcoins.
Casa founder Jameson Lopp says that the solution to this problem is not in the containment of large purchases, but in the promotion of a broader participation of companies. According to Lopp, the more companies will take over the influence of a single company, regardless of the size of its share. This supports the principle of decentralization and healthy market distribution.
The cautious reaction of Bitcoin to the billion -dollar purchase of Strategy is possibly an expression of a ripening market in which institutional demand is no longer exceptional, but belongs. Since more and more companies are investing capital in digital assets, the asset class is increasingly establishing itself as an integral part of the usual financial planning.
