Deep dives

Bitcoin Reaches Milestone

Bitcoin has achieved a remarkable milestone, hitting $100,000 for the first time. This surge in value can be attributed to various factors, notably the appointment of a crypto-friendly leader at the SEC, which has boosted investor confidence. As the cryptocurrency market experiences significant growth—up 136% since the beginning of the year—MicroStrategy emerges as a key player. The company, which has converted much of its cash reserves into Bitcoin, now holds around $38 billion worth, representing 2% of the total Bitcoin supply worldwide.
