U.Today - As became known yesterday, , led by CEO Michael Saylor, has invested a staggering $615.7 million to acquire an additional 14,620 BTC at an average price of $42,110 in December.

The focal point of this significant acquisition is Saylor's ambitious goal, as outlined by renowned Bitcoin evangelist Max Keiser. According to Keiser, who also serves as an advisor to the president of El Salvador, the company's use of a collateral seesaw strategy between stock and debt issuance, coupled with strategic purchases, positions the company to potentially own 5% of all Bitcoin in existence.

This would equate to a monumental 1.05 million BTC.

, a prominent lawyer, crypto enthusiast, and legal representative of XRP holders, weighed in on Saylor's ambitious pursuit. Deaton expressed that MicroStrategy's commitment to amassing more Bitcoin than Satoshi is evident.

As an owner of both MicroStrategy stocks and BTC, the lawyer highlighted the confidence he has in Saylor's strategy, noting that, as a shareholder, he has no complaints despite differing opinions on the "reckless" approach.
