Bitcoin falls, even as Strategy buys $835.6M for its holdings
Bitcoin has experienced a significant downturn, dropping over 10% in value over the past week, despite Strategy’s recent purchase of 8,178 BTC for approximately $835.6 million. This acquisition is part of Strategy's ongoing investment strategy led by Executive Chairman Michael Saylor. Cryptocurrency markets remain sluggish, with major indices like S&P 500 and Nasdaq showing only slight declines. In contrast, gold has seen a small rise of 1.79%. Other cryptocurrencies, such as altcoins, are also faring poorly, with few sectors outperforming BTC except for RWA and no-revenue indices. Solana Eco and crypto-miners have particularly struggled, with some tokens seeing declines as steep as 42.36%. Amid these challenges, the Solana chain has held surprisingly firm in terms of revenue, still exceeding Ethereum despite a decrease in market share for memecoins. However, MSTR’s net asset value is under pressure, complicating future acquisitions.
