Business intelligence company MicroStrategy is showing no indications of backing down on its Bitcoin gambit. Right around the time that Sam Bankman-Fried was being exposed as a fraud, MicroStrategy was scooping up more Bitcoin (BTC)– this time, the firm purchased as near the bottom as it’s ever gotten. While Bitcoin can always go lower, seeing a MicroStrategy purchase around $17K is rejuvenating. Surprisingly, MicroStrategy also offered some BTC previously this month– however not for the reason you think (more on that listed below.)

Mining business are in an even worse position than at first believed.
