MicroStrategy is bullish on Bitcoin and continues accumulation 

The data analytics firm headed by Michael Saylor has accumulated Bitcoin between October 1 and November 29. MicroStrategy revealed the addition of 7,002 Bitcoins to the firm’s portfolio for $414.4 million, at an average price of $59,187 per coin.

The news of the latest investment comes at a time when there is a fear of further price drop. Key supporters of the asset are stepping out of the public eye. 

Jack Dorsey revealed that he is stepping down as CEO of Twitter. CTO Parag Agrawal will replace the BTC proponent Dorsey. 

Twitter has dabbled into Bitcoin tips and payments in 2021; the new CEO would work towards taking the firm’s crypto plans further. 

Over 87% of wallet addresses holding Bitcoin are now profitable, based on data from IntoTheBlock. Nearly 3 million addresses are now profitable, and MicroStrategy’s bullish move has fueled the BTC price rally and triggered a climb. 

FXStreet analysts have evaluated the Bitcoin price trend and believe that the asset has hit bottom and is preparing for a climb to $60,000.
