Even the most intense week of GameStop Mania (referring to the investment frenzy surrounding game retailer GameStop shares in early 2021) couldn't come close to MSTR's trading volume of 136 billion last week! Amazon has never had a week like MSTR!
As of the close of the US stock market on Friday, MSTR reported 421.88 US dollars/share. Since this year, MSTR's stock price has risen by more than 500%.
Looking at ETFs, the “Bitcoin frenzy” is even more obvious.
On November 21, the asset size of the US spot Bitcoin ETF broke through the 100 billion dollar mark. According to Farside Investors data, since the US securities regulator approved the launch of a spot Bitcoin ETF on January 11 this year, the cumulative inflow of capital has reached 29.3 billion US dollars.
Among them, the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) issued by BlackRock had the most outstanding performance among all Bitcoin products, attracting capital inflows of 30.2 billion dollars, while Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund and ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF ranked second and third with capital inflows of 11.2 billion dollars and 2.7 billion US dollars.
Balchunas pointed out that the size of US spot Bitcoin ETFs has reached 82% of gold ETFs. However, gold ETFs have been traded in the US market since November 2004, nearly 20 years earlier than Bitcoin ETFs.
Balchounas described this astonishing data like this:
