Wintermute's OTC trader Jacob Ostrovskis told The Block in an interview that the recent purchase of $1.5 billion in Bitcoin by MicroStrategy is a sign of a growing trend for firms to buy cryptocurrencies in the coming year. Ostrovskis said that he expects other firms to follow suit in purchasing Bitcoin as they seek to diversify their portfolios and gain exposure to digital assets. He added that institutional interest in Bitcoin is at an all-time high, and he believes that this trend will continue in 2023.
