MicroStrategy Buys MORE Bitcoin 😳

Michael Saylor is back at it… AGAIN.

MicroStrategy announced it bought $600m in Bitcoin in November (or 16,130 Bitcoins)

This increases their total holdings by around 10%.

Their total position now stands at around 174,530 Bitcoins 🤯

The Gatsby of Crypto.

Scatt Capital Strategy Update 🦉

A Year of Growth.

What a wild ride it’s been.

Thank you to all of our partners for your trust.

Together we’ll continue to navigate the crypto landscape and aim to produce exceptional returns.

As of writing, we are up almost 82% year-to-date and 81% since inception (a year ago).

Yes… our positions pumped ridiculously since the above report just 3 days ago.

Just another normal weekend in crypto.

FTX Approved To Liquidate $873m 📉

Judge’s orders.

FTX has a BUNCH of crypto holdings/assets that they’re going to sell to repay creditors with.

A judge ordered that they were legally approved to do this, BUT…

It was capped at $100m per week.

A judge recently approved a liquidation of their stakes in Bitwise & Grayscale funds (and some others too) worth $873m.

You’re probably asking how this might affect the market?

It likely won’t that much.

Only because the liquidation announcement was made ages ago, and prices have actually gone UP since then.

Point being… expectations are already likely priced in.
