With the recent acquisitions, MicroStrategy’s holdings have soared to 402,100 BTC, which the firm acquired over four years for a total of $23.4 billion at an average price of $58,263 per Bitcoin.

Bitcoin Adoption by Industry Giant 

These ongoing acquisitions not only establish MSTR as a major BTC holder but also continue to inspire other firms to adopt BTC, as previously reported by CoinPedia. In November alone, a prominent medical firm, Semler Scientific, acquired $30 million worth of BTC, while the AI company Genius Group purchased $120 million worth of BTC.

This adoption of Bitcoin signals potential buying opportunities before it’s too late. Currently, BTC seems to be consolidating within a narrow range after a significant upward rally triggered by the presidential election results in the United States.

At press time, Bitcoin is trading near $95,700 and has registered a price drop of 1.56% in the past 24 hours. During the same period, its trading volume surged by 70%, signaling significant activity from traders and investors amid bullish market sentiment.
