Bitcoin: Microstrategy Stock Reaches 2-year High After BTC Surge

Micheal Saylor is one of the most vocal Bitcoin (BTC) proponents globally. Saylor’s firm, Microstrategy, is also one of the biggest holders of the original crypto. Microstrategy’s stock price has surpassed the $520 mark, the highest since December 2021. The company’s strategy of holding BTC for the long term has yielded lucrative results. Microstrategy currently boasts a market cap of about $7.33 billion.

Analysts anticipate a bull run for the crypto market in 2024. Bitcoin (BTC) will undergo its next halving cycle in April 2024, which many consider a bullish event. Moreover, there is a possibility that the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) will approve a spot BTCETF (Exchange Traded Fund) early next year. Both events may usher in another bull run for the crypto industry. BTC could be the market leader in such a scenario, with some expecting the original crypto to surpass its 2021 peak of $69,044.

Moreover, holding BTC for the long term has proven profitable for almost every instance. BTC has been among the best-performing assets in the last decade, outperforming many top stocks and commodities. Some have even predicted that BTC will touch the $100,000 mark soon, while others have given estimates of the coin reaching $1 million. Furthermore, if a spot BTC ETF is approved, we may see a rise in institutional adoption of BTC products, which may strengthen the asset’s price further.

Still, the ascending triangle pattern and improvements in investor sentiment in ETH derivatives provides hope that Ether price could reach $1,800 or higher by the end of February. This, of course, depends on how the Ether price behaves as it reaches the pattern deadline by mid-February.  Ether/USD price index, 12-hour. Source: TradingView From one side, traders are relieved that Ether is trading up 33% year-to-date, but the repeated failures to break the $1,680 resistance coupled with negative newsflow might give bears the power to cancel the bullish triangle pattern. According to a Jan. 30 report from Axios, New York State's Department of Financial Services is reportedly investigating Cryptocurrency Exchange Gemini over claims that the firm made regarding assets in...
