Square buys 4,709 Bitcoins, worth about $50 million USD!
MSTR let the genie out of the bottle, and now it's spreading...
The CEO of MSTR made headlines a few weeks back when he announced his company had invested roughly $425 million into bitcoin.
This from a company that previously had little to no ties to bitcoin or cryptocurrency.
The announcement was for the company to put much of their treasury into bitcoin due to their belief it would outperform many other assets, especially cash, over the coming years.

Family offices, sure.
Mutual funds, possibly.
Private Equity Funds, you bet.
Other financial institutions, absolutely.
Fortune 500 companies, nope wasn't factoring them in at all...
Given this new group of bitcoin investors that I hadn't originally been factoring in, if bitcoin doesn't hit $100k within the next several years I will be absolutely shocked.
Stay informed my friends.
