MicroStrategy Follows El Salvador’s Lead As It Buys Bitcoin Dip

For those who can afford it, the recent dips in Bitcoin price have been nothing more than an opportunity to buy the digital asset at a discounted price. This has certainly been the case for El Salvador and now MicroStrategy, as both these entities have moved swiftly to take advantage of the price dip to increase their holdings.

El Salvador had quickly snapped up another 100 BTC when the price had fallen to $54,000, with the president once again saying that the country got the coins at a discount. MicroStrategy, the publicly traded firm that holds the largest amount of bitcoin on its balance sheet, followed in the footsteps of El Salvador. This time buying up $414 million worth of BTC.

Square Inc. headed by Twitter boss, Jack Dorsey holds 8,027 BTC, while Marathon Patent Group holds around $280.7 million in bitcoin (4,813 BTC).

A recurring theme around all these companies is that no matter when they entered the market, they are all in profit by at least 100% of the value the bitcoins cost at the time of purchase.
