MicroStrategy, the Virginia-based enterprise software company, has eclipsed The e-commerce giant Amazon in trading volume.
According to Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas, MicroStrategy’s trading volume skyrocketed to $8 billion, surpassing Amazon for the first time in its history.
This surge is attributed to broader enthusiasm in the privatized Bitcoin complex, which now sees more than $20 billion in daily trading volume.
MicroStrategy’s latest offering
Earlier today, MicroStrategy announced the pricing of its offering of $525 million of 0.875% convertible senior notes due 2031, an increase from the $500 million initially planned.
This strategic financial move is part of the company’s broader commitment to investing in Bitcoin.
As Guru-Investingreported, it recently purchased an additional 12,000 Bitcoin for $821.7 million, funded primarily through convertible note sales.
This latest acquisition brings MicroStrategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to approximately 205,000 tokens.
Crypto Market Volatility
Despite growing institutional adoption, the cryptocurrency market remains highly volatile.
Following a sharp drop in the price of Bitcoin to $65,848.20 today, MicroStrategy and other cryptocurrency-related stocks, including Coinbase, experienced significant trading volatility.
MicroStrategy stock has seen a dramatic rise since its pivot to Bitcoin, but the market’s unpredictability serves as a warning to investors.
