</ul>  
<p>Michael Saylor, the Bitcoiner and inventor of MicroStrategy, appears to have ruffled some feathers in response to the fact that the price surged past $61K. To this end, Saylor who has since deleted his Twitter account X and chosen a new identity on social media posted an AI-generated picture of him solving Math problems in front of a whiteboard and identified himself as a professor at some university.</p>

<p>He later <a href="https://x.com/BTC_Archive/status/1825912205545472210" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">tweeted</a>, "My current conclusion is that bitcoin mind as well go higher forever." The news came after a 5.43 percent one-day increase in Bitcoin prices from $58,000 to just over $61,000 less than two weeks ago on Saturdayynet. But after breaking through <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$61,000</a> first time since 6th March, Bitcoin reversed slightly and it fell by 1.1% to reach.</p>  
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-microstrategy-s-continued-bitcoin-accumulation"><strong>MicroStrategy's Continued Bitcoin Accumulation</strong></h3>  
<p>Saylor's upbeat perspective is consistent with <a href="https://www.microstrategy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">MicroStrategy's</a> current Bitcoin approach. MicroStrategy revealed earlier this month that it would sell corporate shares in order to obtain $2 billion to purchase more Bitcoin.</p>  
<p>MicroStrategy increased its total holdings of Bitcoin to 226,500 BTC in Q2 2024 at a cost of $8.3 billion by purchasing 12,222 BTC for $805 million. It is estimated that this hoard is worth $13.5 billion at the current market price.</p>  
<p>Santiment's on-chain data indicates that big Bitcoin whales with holdings of between 100 and 1,000 BTC have been actively building up their <a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/expert-named-top-5-must-have-cryptocurrencies-that-every-crypto-enthusiast-must-hold-tight-till-2025/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cryptocurrency holdings</a>. These major players have amassed 94,700 BTC, or around $5.72 billion, during the past six weeks. While many traders have sold due to market uncertainty, these whales have seized the opportunity to enhance their holdings.</p>

<p>After a ten-to-one stock split, MicroStrategy's stock is 90% less expensive now than it was at over $130 a share. This strategy of trying to bring down the stock price shows how confident the corporation is in its growth. The stock split, which reflects actions taken by companies like Amazon, is a sign of a strong growth prediction.</p>  
<p>Saylor is confident in his prediction that Bitcoin will keep growing, even in spite of the caution that characterized the <a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/solana-whale-initiates-massive-84m-dump-potential-impact-on-cryptocurrency/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cryptocurrency markets in August</a>. To increase their wealth more quickly, retail investors—especially those who want simplicity—continue to "hodle" their Bitcoin or engage in day trading. Even in the face of market volatility, the bullish sentiment is sustained as long as Bitcoin whales keep amassing wealth and MicroStrategy sticks to its Bitcoin plan.</p>
