The recent surge in Bitcoin’s value has brought significant profits to both corporate and national investors. 
MicroStrategy, a leading business intelligence firm, and the Central American country of El Salvador have both reported substantial gains from their investments in Bitcoin (BTC).

MicroStrategy, under the leadership of its Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, began its Bitcoin investment journey in August 2020. 
As of November 30, the company reported <a href="https://saylortracker.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">holding</a> 174,530 Bitcoins, which were acquired at an average price of $30,252 each, amounting to a total investment of $5.28 billion.

The recent crypto rally, which saw <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/cryptocurrencies/bitcoin">Bitcoin</a> peak at $42,000, has pushed the value of MicroStrategy’s holdings to approximately $7.3 billion. 
This represents a staggering profit of over $2 billion, despite a slight pullback in Bitcoin’s price to $41,700 at press time. The company’s shares responded positively, trading around 6% higher on Monday. 
<h2 id="el-salvador-s-bitcoin-investment-profit">El Salvador’s Bitcoin investment profit</h2> 
El Salvador, having made a national-level bet on Bitcoin, has also seen its investment turn profitable. 
The country’s president took to social media to announce a profit of more than $3 million on its Bitcoin holdings.

El Salvador’s stance remains steadfast, with no intentions of selling, as the president emphasized the country’s long-term strategy despite the volatile nature of cryptocurrency prices. 
This upswing marks a significant recovery for Bitcoin, which had plummeted to under $16,000 during the 2022 bear market, casting doubts on high-profile investments like those of MicroStrategy and El Salvador. 
However, the resilience of these investors is now paying off, with Bitcoin not reaching such heights since April 2022, before the crash of the Terra ecosystem.
