As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial markets, I’ve seen my fair share of market-moving events. The latest move by MicroStrategy, a corporate giant turning into a Bitcoin whale, is certainly one for the books.
On Thursday, Bitcoin experienced a slight increase following MicroStrategy’s announcement of intending to issue additional shares. This decision, made with the purpose of raising funds for further Bitcoin acquisition, has sparked enthusiasm within the investing community.
At 11:30 a.m. in Singapore, the price of Bitcoin stood at approximately $98,747, representing a 0.32% rise compared to the previous day. It peaked briefly at $99,876.70 during the day’s trading. Meanwhile, a comprehensive cryptocurrency index, encompassing notable tokens such as Ether, Solana, and Dogecoin, advanced by 0.2%, bouncing back from midweek declines.
The market’s current behavior can be attributed to the company’s assertive approach, making recent developments regarding MicroStrategy significant influencers in the market. Lately, MicroStrategy has filed documents with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to expand the authorized number of Class A common stock and preferred stock.
The suggested changes will significantly increase the allowed number of common shares from 330 million to approximately 10.33 billion, and the authorized preferred shares from 5 million to more than a billion.
This approach highlights MicroStrategy’s evolution from a software business into a significant Bitcoin investor. Earlier this week, the firm declared that it had invested around $561 million in Bitcoin, purchasing it at prices near all-time highs. This represents the company’s seventh straight week of Bitcoin purchases. The estimated total value of its Bitcoin holdings is now approximately $40 billion.
2021 has seen Bitcoin surge by 135%, outperforming traditional investments such as global stocks and gold. Yet, financial analysts are preparing for possible market turbulence, as over $43 billion in Bitcoin and Ether derivative contracts will expire this coming Friday. McNulty warns that market makers might liquidate their hedges, potentially causing erratic trading patterns.
