Strategy Raises Bitcoin Holdings to $73B, London Stock Exchange Goes Blockchain, Thai Bank Accounts Get Frozen
Strategy (co-founded by Michael Saylor) bought 525 BTC (~$60 million at the time), pushing its treasury to 638,985 BTC, worth over $73 billion.
London Stock Exchange (LSEG) launched a blockchain-powered platform (“Digital Markets Infrastructure, DMI”) for private funds, built in partnership with Microsoft using Azure.
Thai banks froze 3 million bank accounts suspected of being used by scammers; transfer limits of $1,300–$5,500/day imposed. Many affected were innocent. Bitcoin advocates are pointing at it as a reason for crypto’s appeal.
