Bitcoin Shows Signs of Recovery as Leverage Decreases and Outflows Rise

Bitcoin is now experiencing a break from last week’s steady decline, which saw the asset drop as low as $94,000. As of today, BTC’s price has steadily climbed, topping $98,000 at the time of writing.

Bitcoin had lost nearly more than 4% last week, as escalating U.S.-China trade tensions sparked liquidity fears, and kept investors away from speculative assets like crypto.

The prospect of sticky U.S. inflation and high-for-longer U.S. interest rates also pressured crypto, largely offsetting optimism over friendlier regulations under Trump.

Saylor’s Strategy Resumes Bitcoin Purchases After Posting Loss

Strategy, the self-styled Bitcoin Treasury company that until recently was called MicroStrategy Inc., said it acquired $742.2 million of the digital asset over the past seven days, resuming weekly purchases that began in late October.

The Tysons Corner, Virginia-based enterprise software company turned leveraged Bitcoin proxy has announced purchases of the cryptocurrency in 12 of the last 13 weeks. Strategy now owns around $47 billion of the original cryptocurrency, or more than 2.5% of all the tokens that will ever exist.

Strategy purchased 7,633 Bitcoin at an average price of approximately $97,255 from Feb. 3 through Feb. 9, according to a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday. Strategy changed its name last week.
