<p>With the SEC’s approval of Spot Bitcoin ETFs in January, institutional interest in bitcoin has skyrocketed, propelling its price to a record high of $73,000 in March 2024.</p>
<p>MicroStrategy took advantage of this momentum to issue <strong>an $800 million convertible note</strong>, far exceeding the <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/bitcoin-microstrategy-invests-500-million-in-btc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">initial announcement of $500 million</a>.</p>
