<p>After starting to purchase bitcoin in 2020, MicroStrategy said that, along with its subsidiaries, it currently possesses over 189,150 bitcoins, for which it paid approximately $5.9 billion.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-other-activities-in-etf-applications-strong"><strong>Other Activities in ETF Applications&nbsp;</strong></h2>
<p>Grayscale Investment resubmits its proposal for a spot ETF after chairman Barry Silbert leaves. They wished to transform their Bitcoin trust into an ETF, allowing investors to trade shares more freely than the closed-end trust now allowed.</p>
<p>Following the market uproar, there was a notable increase in investment since spot ETFs and BlackRock’s debut attracted investors’ attention to the impending future of currency.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Bitcoin had one of the most significant inflows of $87.6 million, Ethereum came in second with $7.9 million, and the rest was split among all the other currencies and tokens.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Germany accounts for 40% of the entire influx of nations, with Canada and other countries following. All cryptocurrency enthusiasts anxiously await the U.S. SEC’s ruling regarding spot ETFs.</p>
<p>Investors in other jurisdictions, including Canada, Australia, and Germany, may already purchase shares in spot Bitcoin ETFs.</p>
<p>If the U.S. SEC disapproves of the ETF applications, Hong Kong might become the second runner in ETF registrations. In the past few days, a significant surge in spot ETF registration has been seen in Hong Kong.&nbsp;</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Crypto Price Movement&nbsp;</strong></h4>
<p>As per dozens of market analysts, BTC will surpass its annual target of $50k by the end of this month.</p>
<p>The surge in the use of Bitcoin over the past several months has shaken the whole cryptocurrency sector. Many top crypto companies have filed ETF applications with security regulators in various nations, raising concerns.</p>

<p>As per Microstrategy’s August to September filing, the U.S. SEC purchased nearly 5,445 Bitcoins for $147.3 million cash. Each BTC was purchased at the price of $27,053, inclusive of taxes and charges.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In 2023, MicroStrategy (MSTR) had a 350% increase in stock price, primarily because of anticipation around the U.S. government’s approval of a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF).&nbsp;</p>
