MicroStrategy agrega $600M en Bitcoin a su cartera
- MicroStrategy aumentó sus tenencias de Bitcoin en más de 10% en sólo un mes.
- The SEC has called for comments on Fidelity’s spot Ether ETF application.
MicroStrategy strengthened its position as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin in November by purchasing an extra 16,130 BTC, worth around $608 million. MicroStrategy’s co-founder Michael Saylor revealed on November 30 that the business purchased the bitcoin for about $593.3 million, or $36,785 per piece. Earlier on, MicroStrategy claimed it held 174,530 BTC, or approximately $6.6 billion.
MicroStrategy es una de las organizaciones que ha mostrado interés en Bitcoin en los últimos años. El desarrollador de software anunció en 2020 que utilizaría Bitcoin como activo de reserva del tesoro y ha comprado continuamente cantidades significativas de la criptomoneda.
Microestrategia sostuvo 158.400 bitcoins a finales de octubre, habiendo ganado 6.607 bitcoins desde el inicio del tercer trimestre. Ahora ha aumentado sus tenencias en más de 10% en sólo un mes.
Saylor, the company’s former CEO, believes Bitcoin is a hedge against inflation and would be a good strategy for investors to receive maximum returns. Saylor has also advised investors to purchase the company’s shares as a way to gain crypto exposure.
Saylor views Bitcoin as a “dependable store of value and an attractive investment asset with more long-term appreciation potential than holding cash.” The prominent investors believe Bitcoin is a preferable asset to gold and real estate.
MicroStrategy’s strategy appears to have paid off in recent months. The current price of MicroStrategy’s Nasdaq stock, MSTR, is $493.15 a share. Although shares are down 2% from the previous day’s close, it represents a 17% gain over the last month.
SEC Calls for Comments on Fidelity’s ETF Application
En otras noticias, la Comisión de Bolsa y Valores de EE. UU. (SEC) ha llamado for public comments on Fidelity’s spot Ether ETF application. The SEC urged “interested persons” to provide feedback on the Fidelity offering, proposing that the Cboe BZX Exchange list and trade shares of the Fidelity Ethereum Fund.
The SEC’s call for feedback is an important step toward the possibility of an ETF based on cryptocurrency being introduced into the American financial system. The regulator also set up a 21-day comment period.
Fidelity presentó su solicitud inicial para la aprobación del fondo a mediados de noviembre, uniéndose a las filas de otras empresas que compiten por un fondo de intercambio de criptomonedas (ETF) al contado en Estados Unidos.
The introduction of Fidelity’s Ether ETF would provide US investors with a regulated investment vehicle and be a significant step toward advancing the mainstreaming of cryptocurrencies.
A pesar de múltiples aplicaciones de varias organizaciones, la SEC aún tiene que autorizar la cotización de cualquier ETF criptográfico al contado para los mercados de EE. UU. Sin embargo, algunos expertos en criptografía creen que el regulador podría aprobar este tipo de solicitudes el próximo año.
