- The previous purchase came in late December when MicroStrategy spent $94 million to buy 1,914 BTC.
- Although the price of the asset is more than $10,000 lower than it was a month ago, the company’s executives continue to display a pro-bitcoin approach.
- Apart from Saylor, who is a well-known bitcoin bull, MicroStrategy’s CFO – Phong Le – also asserted that the firm will keep buying and holding BTC no matter what happens in the market in terms of price action.
