Interestingly, this acquisition occurred at an average price of $101,191 per Bitcoin, elevating MicroStrategy's overall average purchase cost to $63,610. Despite Bitcoin's trading at about $104,602, MicroStrategy’s stock dipped slightly by 0.57% in premarket trading.
Meanwhile, XRP showcased a positive momentum against Bitcoin, with a substantial 270% rise since early November.

A golden cross formation on its weekly price chart hints at potentially higher values ahead, amid highly speculative market conditions.
