What we drew from this source

The claims Via News extracted from this document. We point to the source; we don't replace it.

  • We represent a motor powering the network up. We're driving the price of Bitcoin from $10,000 to $100,000, $1 million to $10 million by creating common equity that large institutional investors can buy

    80% confidence
  • If Strategy reaches 5% of the Bitcoin network and Bitcoin hits $1 million per coin, it would transfer $18-$20 trillion to the 85% who don't hold corporate Bitcoin

    80% confidence
  • The Rules of Bitcoin: 1. Buy Bitcoin 2. Don't Sell the Bitcoin

    80% confidence
  • Strategy's actions helped add $1.8 trillion to Bitcoin's value, with 85% of the gains benefiting holders in China, Russia, Africa, and South America rather than corporate investors

    80% confidence
  • To reach $20 trillion or $200 trillion, corporations like Strategy, money managers like BlackRock, and banks must enter the Bitcoin network

    80% confidence
  • Without corporate involvement, Bitcoin would trade at $10,000 per coin with a $200 billion network instead of $2 trillion

    80% confidence
  • Strategy's buying drove Bitcoin's 550% rise, but now that the company can't keep buying as much, the price is falling

    80% confidence
  • Strategy's equity structure has 15 million beneficiaries holding securities through pension funds, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, and retail accounts

    80% confidence
