MicroStrategy, one of the world's largest corporate holders of Bitcoin, announced this week that it purchased bonds instead of additional cryptocurrency.
The move marks an unexpected pivot for the company, which holds 843,738 BTC valued at approximately $65 billion—a position acquired for roughly $63 billion, leaving the company sitting on approximately $1.50 billion in unrealized gains.
