According to Caixin News on January 6 (Editor: Ma Lan), after experiencing a sharp correction at the end of 2024, the price of Bitcoin has returned to above 98,000 dollars, seemingly signaling a resurgence of optimism in the market.
On Sunday, the publicly traded company MicroStrategy, known for holding Bitcoin, also made an announcement. Its co-founder and Executive Chairman Michael Saylor released a Bitcoin tracking chart, suggesting that MicroStrategy will push for Bitcoin acquisitions again this Monday.
Historically, Saylor typically releases this chart before purchasing Bitcoin. On the day prior to the last purchase on December 30, Saylor released the company's Bitcoin tracking chart. At that time, MicroStrategy purchased a total of 2,138 Bitcoins at an average price of around 97,837 dollars.
Additionally, in his latest statement on January 3, Saylor provided further details on MicroStrategy's Bitcoin Shareholding plan "21/21", stating that he hopes to raise approximately 2 billion dollars through issuing preferred shares and using those funds to increase Bitcoin holdings.
This plan has also enhanced Analysts' confidence that MicroStrategy will acquire Bitcoin on Monday. Furthermore, in addition to the issuance of preferred shares, MicroStrategy previously announced that it plans to raise 21 billion dollars through Stocks and Bonds each to increase its Bitcoin holdings, and it’s reported that this plan will be implemented within the first quarter of this year.
As of December 30, 2024, MicroStrategy holds a total of 446,400 Bitcoins, valued at 43.9 billion dollars. In just the past year, the company has purchased 257,250 Bitcoins.
However, some Analysts believe that due to the slowdown in the Bitcoin market in January, MicroStrategy may pause its acquisition of Bitcoin. Others claim that Bitcoin prices are likely to continue to decline, and investors may be looking to enter at a lower cost, thus they are more inclined to wait.
However, given Saylor and MicroStrategy's consistently aggressive attitude, $98,000 may not be enough to make MicroStrategy back down. This has also led more Analysts to anticipate Bitcoin returning above $0.1 million, aiming for a new historical record.
