BlackRock has been constantly ahead of another major company that has been actively accumulating the world’s flagship cryptocurrency – Strategy (formerly known as MicroStrategy). Strategy has been making BTC acquisitions quite frequently, sometimes every week thanks to large and successful fundraising campaigns.
Last week, the company founded and spearheaded by Michael Saylor announced a mammoth Bitcoin purchase of over $1.2 billion. On Monday this week, it spread the word about accumulating an additional 1,895 BTC, paying approximately $180 million for it.
In total, Strategy now holds 555,450 BTC, which is the equivalent of roughly $38 billion.
