#微策略持续增持BTC $BTC
On the evening of January 6, 2025, Bitcoin (BTC) made a strong rebound, rising over $102,000, marking the first time Bitcoin returned to the $100,000 mark since December 19, 2024. As of the time of writing, the latest price of Bitcoin is $101,917.5, with a 24-hour increase of 2.58%. In addition to Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Solana have also risen significantly.
Regarding the rise in Bitcoin's price, Zheng Lei, chief economist of Samoyed Cloud Technology Group, stated that this is mainly due to the increasing acceptance of digital currencies in the market and the value recognition brought by the widespread application of blockchain technology. Additionally, the turmoil in global financial markets may have driven the demand for digital currencies as a safe haven.
As we enter 2025, institutional investors remain highly enthusiastic about cryptocurrencies. For example, MicroStrategy has once again announced that it has acquired 1,070 BTC for approximately $101 million, at an average price of about $94,004. As of January 5, 2025, MicroStrategy holds approximately 450,000 BTC, with an average purchase price of around $62,503. NYSE-listed company KULR Technology recently announced an increase of 213.43 BTC (worth about $21 million), bringing its total holdings to 430.61 BTC as of January 6. Japanese-listed company Metaplanet also announced plans to expand its Bitcoin holdings to 10,000 BTC by 2025. Currently, the company holds 1,762 Bitcoins, valued at approximately $176 million, through 19 purchases.
At the same time, Nasdaq has submitted an application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to increase the position limit of BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) from 25,000 shares to 250,000 shares; however, this application still requires SEC approval to take effect.
Zhi Peiyuan, vice president of the Investment Professional Committee of the China Investment Association, believes that the increase in holdings by institutions like MicroStrategy reflects the demand for Bitcoin. However, it is important to note that Bitcoin's price is highly volatile and lacks a fundamental valuation basis, which can lead to significant losses for investors in a short period. Additionally, the regulatory policies regarding Bitcoin vary across countries and are constantly changing, adding to market uncertainty. Investors should understand the characteristics and risks of the digital currency market and choose reputable and experienced digital currency trading platforms for transactions.
