Amidst the price fluctuations observed in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, long-term accumulators seem to remain unfazed by these market dynamics.

Institutional investors, in particular, continue to expand their cryptocurrency portfolios, even if they already possess a significant amount of holdings. MicroStrategy, for instance, tends to enter the Bitcoin market whenever they find an opportunity.

With Bitcoin’s current value hovering around the $30,345 range, the company has acquired an additional 12,333 Bitcoins for a total of $347 million. Michael Saylor, the founder of MicroStrategy, recently shared this news through a tweet, highlighting the ongoing accumulation of Bitcoin by the company.
