Happy Tuesday, Blockfolians
The Lede
You may remember the big news from a few weeks ago when publicly-traded MicroStrategy (MSTR) announced that it was moving half of its cash reserves (approximately $250m) into bitcoin.
Well, they’ve just announced that they’ve doubled down and actually purchased $175m more. This can only mean that the market’s response to their first announcement cleared the way for this additional purchase.
One interesting comment came from Vijay Boyapati, who argued that this effectively turned the company into a Bitcoin ETF.
Whatever the case, this continues to be a hugely bullish sign for bitcoin’s narrative as a true reserve currency asset.
