MICROSTRATEGY MAKES IT FIVE 🏦
BREAKING: MicroStrategy acquires another 21,550 bitcoin for roughly $2.1 billion
This is getting out of hand now…
MicroStrategy just announced ANOTHER huge Bitcoin buy.
This time MicroStrategy acquired an additional 21,550 Bitcoin for ~$2.1 billion. (Average of ~$98,783 per BTC)
This brings MicroStrategy’s total holdings to 423,650 Bitcoin, acquired for ~$23.4 billion. (Average price of ~$58,263 per BTC)
But check this out…
With this latest purchase, MicroStrategy now holds over 2% of the entire maximum Bitcoin supply. 🤯
That is just absurd.
And at today’s prices, MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin holdings are worth ~41.03 billion.
Which means they’re sitting on unrealized profits of ~$15.43 billion.
Saylor posted this to X on Dec 9, hinting that another buy would be announced soon
This is also the 5th week in a row that MicroStrategy has purchased Bitcoin, the previous 4 weeks being:
December 1: 15,400 Bitcoin for $1.5 billion
November 24: 55,500 Bitcoin for ~$5.4 billion
November 17: 51,780 Bitcoin for ~$4.6 billion
November 10: 27,200 Bitcoin for ~$2.03 billion
That’s a total of $15.63 billion worth of Bitcoin being purchased in the last 5 weeks.
Absolutely ridiculous numbers…
Other companies are also starting to follow in MicroStrategy’s footsteps.
Bitcoin mining firm, Riot Platforms, just announced plans to raise $500 million.
With the net proceeds being used to acquire more Bitcoin.
Riot currently holds 10,019 Bitcoin. (~$970.4 at today’s prices)
But…
Whilst we’re on the topic of MicroStrategy copycats..
We’ve got some MASSIVE news for you.
A group of Amazon shareholders has urged the company to diversify its treasury holdings by allocating at least 5% of its assets to Bitcoin.
Just last week we had MicroSoft considering a Bitcoin investment.
And now we have Amazon…
"Though bitcoin is currently a volatile asset – as Amazon stock has been at times throughout its history – corporations have a responsibility to maximize shareholder value over the long-term as well as the short-term. Diversifying the balance sheet by including some bitcoin solves this problem without taking on too much volatility."
As is stands, this is only a proposal put forward by shareholders.
But if it gets enough traction it may even be a consideration at Amazon’s next shareholder meeting. (May 2025)
The fact that MicroSoft and Amazon are even in the discussion is such a huge development.
The times are certainly changing…

REAL ESTATE VS BITCOIN 🏡
Real estate is about to get smoked by Bitcoin.
That’s the latest call from Fred Krueger.
Who is Fred Krueger?
Fred Krueger is a very successful entrepreneur, investor & mathematician.
Over the years, he’s built a reputation for making bold calls that have turned out correct.
When it comes to Bitcoin and real estate, his message is crystal clear:
In his view, the days of looking to real estate as the ultimate investment vehicle are over.
Fred continued:
“Real estate used to be the best inflation hedge. Now we have something infinitely better.
No real estate taxes. No tenants. No maintenance. Can be sold in seconds.”
Instead of buying a house, Fred believes there’s a better alternative:
“Smart people will rent their entire lives. The idea of buying a house will be for losers. There will be no need for it. You will save your money in Bitcoin. Not real estate. This is a pivotal tech movement that is going to define the class structure of this country.”
When you look at the data, Fred’s not wrong:
10 years ago, a new house would cost you 800.73 Bitcion.
5 years ago, 44.45 Bitcoin.
Today? 4.49 Bitcoin.
The trend is clear.
Will Bitcoin continue to outperform real estate?
Fred thinks so, and so do we.
The future is knocking, and it’s not asking if you’ve got your mortgage sorted. It’s asking if you own Bitcoin. 🏡
LARGEST WEEKLY INFLOW EVER 🤑
The inflow streak is now up to nine!
Last week Digital asset funds saw an absolutely massive $3.85 billion in net inflows!
That’s not just a new record—it smashes the one set just a few weeks back!
This also pushes year-to-date inflows to $41 billion and total assets under management (AUM) to a record high of $165 billion.
Prior cycle highs in 2021 were “only” $10.6 billion in inflows and $83 billion in AUM.
Like usual, Bitcoin saw the majority of inflows with $2.5 billion coming in last week.
Here’s the crazy part though…
Bitcoin’s year-to-date inflows are now up to $36.5 billion.
What’s more is that Ethereum had it’s best week ever, experiencing inflows of $1.16 billion.
Whilst Solana saw net outflows of $14.1 million.
Regionally, it was the usual suspects leading the way.
The United States dominated with $3.57 billion in inflows.
Whilst Switzerland, Germany and Canada also enjoyed positive weeks, seeing inflows of $159.5m, $116.1m, $14.2m respectively.
Sweden and Hong Kong both experienced outflows of $18.9m and $5.1m respectively.
Last week was seriously impressive.
Even though Bitcoin saw more total inflows, the standout of the week was Ethereum.
Now that the uncertainty surrounding the election has cleared, and the new administration is shaping up to be extremely pro-crypto…
Ethereum is finally getting the love it deserves from institutional investors.
