Banking Crisis Rallies Bitcoin - March 19, 2023
Bitcoin closed its best week in four years, and has gained 45% in just 12 days.
Traditional banks suffered severe crisis in the U.S and Europe. The collapse of U.S. lenders Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank eventually helped to triggered the takeover of 167-year-old Credit Suisse by rival UBS. Claims that Bitcoin is an asset immune to risks in traditional finance have started to gain real traction as Bitcoin passes the bank stress test. https://www.wsj.com/articles/bitcoin-booms-on-back-of-bank-crisis-6c388bd9 https://www.reuters.com/markets/currencies/cryptoverse-bitcoin-passes-bank-stress-test-2023-03-21/U.S. Government Sells Bitcoin Seized From Silk Road - March 14, 2023

MicroStrategy Sells Bitcoin for the First Time - December 29, 2022
The largest corporate buyer of Bitcoin, MicroStrategy revealed sold part of its Bitcoin stash on December 22 for tax purposes. MicroStrategy purchased 2,395 bitcoins worth about $42.8 million between November 1, 2022, and December 21, 2022. The company then sold 704 BTC for about $11.8 million on December 22 before purchasing another 810 BTC two days later. MicroStrategy explained the sale with tax planning: the company carried back the capital losses resulting from this transaction against previous capital gains.
Although the firm later purchased more Bitcoins, the sale defied its promise of never selling any portions of its BTC stash.

This investment reflects our belief that Bitcoin, as the world’s most widely-adopted cryptocurrency, is a dependable store of value and an attractive investment asset with more long-term appreciation potential than holding cash. Since its inception over a decade ago, Bitcoin has emerged as a significant addition to the global financial system, with characteristics that are useful to both individuals and institutions.
