The well-known Bitcoin bull MicroStrategy’s CEO Michael Saylor has just purchased more Bitcoin, spending over $190 million on the mother-of-all-crypto.

The latest purchase was reportedly made between February 15 and April 4, 2022 Earlier in March MacroStrategy received a $205 million loan collateralized by BTC holdings under the bank’s Silvergate Exchange Network Leverage program. Commenting on the decision, Silvergate CEO Alan Lane underscored that his company is thrilled to have MicroStrategy among its clients: “Their innovative approach to treasury management is an exceptional example of how institutions can utilize their bitcoin to support and grow their business.” In 2020, MicroStrategy, which claims to be the leading independent publicly traded analytics and business intelligence company with a focus on growing enterprise analytics software business to promote a vision of intelligence acquiring bitcoin as a dependable store of values, converted almost all of its capital into Bitcoin. Back then Phong Le, President & CFO, MicroStrategy Incorporated, noted that “the company continues to believe bitcoin will provide the opportunity for better returns and preserve the value of our capital over time compared to holding cash.
