XRP lawyer John Deaton praises MicroStrategy’s CEO Michael Saylor on the prior purchase of Bitcoin. Saylor has strongly supported investing a major portion of MicroStrategy’s capital in <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bitcoin</a>, a decision that has elicited both praise and condemnation.

Deaton acknowledges the polarizing nature of Saylor’s strategy, stating: 
<blockquote>
 Whether you hate him or love him, agree or disagree with his Bitcoin strategy, Saylor must be feeling pretty damn good right now.”
</blockquote> 
The statement came up as Bitcoin recently crossed $41,000, and huge fans are now looking for $45,000. In November, MicroStrategy purchased nearly $593.3 million in Bitcoin, the company’s largest acquisition over three years. 
According to November filling, <a href="https://coingape.com/breaking-microstrategy-acquires-16130-btc-in-latest-bullish-move/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MicroStrategy added 16,130</a> BTC to its holdings at an average price of $36,785 per Bitcoin. The total amount of MicroStrategy’s bitcoin holdings is now over $6.5 billion. MicroStrategy has now become the largest institution to accumulate Bitcoin leaving Marathon Digital Holdings behind which holds 13,286 BTC coins. 
As Bitcoin jumps above $41K, <a href="https://coingape.com/crypto-stocks/MSTR/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MicroStrategy (MTSR) stock price</a> also rallied 8% with an increment of $40. Reacting to the same, Deaton alluded that MicroStrategy shareholders must also feel good. 
As the <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/cryptocurrency/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cryptocurrency</a> crossed the $40,000 mark and continued its climb, Deaton expressed joy in witnessing the positive vibes within the crypto community. 
In another X post signaling towards further Bitcoin pump, Deaton sarcastically said that he would be happier if Michael Saylor would invite him to his $100K party.

<blockquote>
 Congrats to everyone who held during a brutal bear market that saw FTX, Celsius, BlockFi, Voyager, 3AC, the SECGov, etc.
</blockquote> 
Sharing his investment insights with his followers, later Deaton talked about his Coinbase (COIN) stock purchase. Shedding light on the <a href="https://coingape.com/crypto-stocks/COIN/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Coinbase (COIN)</a> shares 51-week low of $31, he revealed that he had acquired the COIN share between $40-$45.
