MicroStrategy, which calls itself the world’s first Bitcoin development company, is an industry leader in incorporating the digital asset into its corporate reserve strategy. As of this writing, the software company holds a little over 1% of Bitcoin’s total circulating supply, worth $12.9 billion, according to bitcointreasuries.net. Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $57,277.50, down 0.98% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro. Shares of MicroStrategy closed 4.05% higher at $1.358.56 during Thursday’s regular session. The stock has slumped 20% over the last month, likely due to Bitcoin’s correction.Photo Courtesy: Shutterstock.comRead Next: \nCrypto Markets Entangled With $100B In Illicit Funds Since 2019: Report\nDisclaimer: This content was partially produced with the help of Benzinga Neuro and was reviewed and published by Benzinga editors.Market News and Data brought to you by Benzinga APIs© 2024 Benzinga.com.
