Commenting on Square’s recent Bitcoin investment of $170 million, Back stated:
Worth noting that Square bought in the last 7days. Either before $58k or after, or a mix of peak & dip buying average. Keep that in mind before selling BTC under $50k: both institutional and retail ETF buying up for cold storage.
Financial services giant Square announced on February 23 that it had purchased 3,318 Bitcoins worth $170 million. After this investment, the company invested 5% of its total reserve in Bitcoin.
The business intelligence giant MicroStrategy, which triggered the influx of institutional investors in the industry by investing $250 million in Bitcoin in August 2020, bought $1 billion worth of BTC on February 24 and raised its Bitcoin savings to over 90,000. MicroStrategy bought Bitcoin at an average of $52,765.
In the futures market, where $5.6 billion worth of contracts were liquidated in just two days after Bitcoin’s sudden price drop, investors seem unaffected by the correction. After the BTC price bottomed, many investors took a long position again.
Bitcoin, which has gained 3.5% in the last 24 hours, is trading at around $50.691 on Bitstamp as of the time of writing this article.
