MicroStrategy already owned more Bitcoin than any other corporation in the world and added 7,002 more BTC to their hoard between October 1 and November 29 partially with proceeds raised during an earlier stock sale. The Virginia-based firm now owns approximately 121,044 Bitcoins for an average price per coin of $29,534. Saylor, commented that his company’s growing investment “reaffirms [the firm’s] belief that bitcoin, as the world’s most widely adopted cryptocurrency, can serve as a dependable store of value.”

MicroStrategy wasn’t the only buyer as Bitcoin dipped to a near seven-week low. El Salvador added 100 Bitcoins to its holdings on Friday when the price was hovering near $54,000 as fears spread of a new and potentially more infectious variant of the coronavirus. 

Bitcoin has since recovered from its recent lows, currently trading at $57,000 Monday morning, but is still down nearly 18% from its record high of $69,000.
