Businessman Martin Shkreli, who made a fortune speculating on drugs in the US, promised to sell shares of MicroStrategy and raise the price of Bitcoin to $250,000.

The value of MicroStrategy's securities dropped below $300. Will we get rid of them and raise the price of Bitcoin to $250,000 without Saylor? The best thing Saylor can do is to accumulate [bitcoins], - wrote Shkreli.

Martin made this statement after, on December 31, the stock price of MicroStrategy broke the support barrier at $300 and fell to $293. The firm's assets have depreciated despite another purchase of bitcoins worth $209 million. It is clear that the downward trend was caused by the decline in the BTC price that started on December 17.

MicroStrategy continued to invest in bitcoins when the value of the cryptocurrency exceeded $95,000. Currently, BTC is priced at $92,450, thus the last six purchases of digital assets resulted in unrealized losses of $615.6 million for the company. However, considering past transactions, investments in BTC brought MicroStrategy a profit of $13.5 billion (48.4%). The organization currently owns 446,400 bitcoins worth $41.3 billion.
