bitcoin’s price briefly fell to $94,000 today, triggering speculation about potential liquidations – notably from major holders like MicroStrategy. However,MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor swiftly refuted claims of a sale,characterizing the price drop as a normal retracement within Bitcoin’s inherent volatility.The incident underscores the sensitivity surrounding Bitcoin’s price movements and the scrutiny faced by institutional investors heavily invested in the cryptocurrency.
The market reacted to large Bitcoin transfers originating from wallets associated with Arkham Intelligence’s “Strategy” entities. Arkham clarified these movements are routine custodian shifts,regularly occurring and previously observed over the past two weeks,not indicative of asset sales.Saylor reinforced this sentiment, emphasizing Bitcoin’s strong long-term performance and MicroStrategy’s ongoing commitment to accumulating the digital asset.
Saylor highlighted bitcoin’s five-year annualized return of 50%, surpassing both gold (14%) and the S&P 500 index. In a recent CNBC interview, he advised investors to adopt a long-term outlook, holding Bitcoin for at least four years and accepting its volatility as a characteristic of a high-quality digital asset.
MicroStrategy has been actively purchasing Bitcoin daily this week, and Saylor announced the company will provide an update on its acquisitions next Monday.
