  Commenting on the recent price movement of Bitcoin and its network activity, Alexandra Clark, Sales Trader at GlobalBlock, said: “Whilst uncertainty remains for bitcoin in the short-term, its long-term future is clear, with professionals and academics stating that bitcoin, and digital assets more generally, will replace fiat currencies over the next five to ten years. Many institutions are already scrambling to adopt crypto and blockchain technology in a bid to retain competitive advantage.”

  At the start of this week, Bitcoin crossed the price level of $50,000 for the first time in 13 weeks. Despite the recent 5% correction, the world‘s largest cryptocurrency is still trading above $47,000 with a market cap of $900 billion. The latest jump in the price of BTC is mainly due to a rise in its institutional and retail demand.

MicroStrategy now holds more than 108,000 BTC with a combined value of over $5 billion.
