The purchases took place and perhaps contributed to bitcoin's price action as the crypto crossed above $100,000 last week for the first time in its history with significant U.S. investor activity bidding spot prices higher. Alongside, U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs also saw massive inflows raking in $2.73 billion in fresh funds last week, data compiled by Farside Investors showed.
MicroStrategy shares were down 1% to $395 in premarket trading alongside a modest decline in bitcoin prices to $99,000.
In other corporate adoption news, bitcoin mining firm Riot Platforms (RIOT) announced Monday a $500 million convertible note offering to be used primarily to purchase BTC.
