Though Bitcoin (BTC) has had its ups and downs through the years, the asset’s cost has soared in recent months, dividing its 2017 record price high near $20,000 at December 2020. BTC has continued blazing an upward trail since then, recently flying past $57,000.
“This is the opportunity to be on the cutting edge of something which has the power to change global trade forever.”

MicroStrategy has set more than $2 billion of capital toward the money, and Tesla bought $1.5 billion value of BTC at 2021. Square and MassMutual have also purchased Bitcoin in recent months.
