🔐 Bitcoin has kicked off the year with an incredible rally, climbing nearly +40% YTD.

Among the biggest cheerleaders?

Probably MicroStrategy and its Chairman, Michael Saylor.

MicroStrategy’s commitment to Bitcoin is clear, with BitcoinTreasuries reporting the company’s stash at 193,000 Bitcoins.

And despite having nearly $12B in the crypto, their bullish stance doesn’t show any signs of slowing down.

The company recently purchased an additional 3,000 Bitcoins for about $155M on Monday.

The company leads the pack in owning the most Bitcoin out of all publicly traded companies.

This week, Bitcoin’s ride was notably turbulent, briefly touching the $64,000 mark, which even led to technical difficulties on Coinbase.

CEO Brian Armstrong noted that the platform experienced traffic more than 10x what they had anticipated and prepared for in their load tests.
