A further commitment to its treasury sees MicroStrategy join Grayscale as this week's big buyer while others keep selling.
Bitcoin (BTC) showed signs of a resurgence on Jan. 22 after a trip below $30,000 produced fresh buyer support.
BTC price seals 8.5% daily bounce
Data from Cointelegraph Markets and TradingView showed a stronger trading day for BTC/USD on Friday, with daily gains at 8.5% at the time of writing.
The
turnaround follows a turbulent 24 hours in which Bitcoin slid to
$28,950 — a key level when it comes to support from whales and only its second dip below $30,000 this year.
At the same time, MicroStrategy, well known for its ever-increasing Bitcoin treasury, confirmed that it had purchased 314 BTC to bring its total hoard to 70,784 BTC.
"Microstrategy
just bought 314 more #Bitcoin for $10M. @michael_saylor bought the
dip," Twitter-based information resource Documenting Bitcoin summarized, referring to the company's CEO, Michael Saylor.
The latest buy-in came at an average cost of $31,808 per Bitcoin and joins asset manager Grayscale's ongoing purchases that defy overall selling action in the past few weeks.
All eyes on whales at $29,000
Among other major BTC investors, meanwhile, interest remained focused on the area at just below $30,000.
According to monitoring resource Whalemap, that area is crucial to hold in order to avert a further price dip on BTC/USD, one that could take the pair closer to $20,000.
