Bitcoin’s price skyrocketed to an all-time high of $109,000 on January 20, 2025, ahead of Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration. However, the price later dipped to $100,100 due to sell-off pressure and the absence of direct crypto mentions in Trump’s speech.

Despite this minor pullback, analysts remain bullish, predicting further gains amid expectations of pro-crypto executive orders, including one on a potential Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $104,436, down nearly 3% in the past 24 hours but up 151% over the past year. Meanwhile, MicroStrategy’s stock (MSTR) sits at $395.68 in premarket trading, having surged 743% in the past year.

MicroStrategy’s latest Bitcoin purchase underscores the growing institutional adoption of crypto, a trend that is also making waves in Africa’s emerging digital economy. As global giants bet big on Bitcoin, African investors and entrepreneurs are embracing crypto as a hedge against inflation, a store of value, and a vehicle for financial inclusion.

With Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa leading the charge in crypto adoption, the continent’s digital asset revolution is accelerating. As MicroStrategy sets new benchmarks for institutional Bitcoin investment, African businesses and investors can take cues from this bold move.

MicroStrategy’s $1.1 billion Bitcoin purchase reaffirms the growing confidence in BTC as a long-term asset. With the 2028 Bitcoin halving event approaching, institutional adoption at this scale could further drive Bitcoin’s price trajectory.

As we witness history in the making, the question remains: Will other major corporations follow suit?
