He proposed that this liquidity might have been used by MicroStrategy to facilitate <strong>large Bitcoin purchases<\/strong> on major exchanges like <strong>Binance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of minting, Bitcoin was trading at <strong>$97,300<\/strong>. However, as alleged automated <strong>buying bots operated by MicroStrategy<\/strong> intensified their activity, Bitcoin&#8217;s price climbed to <strong>$98,300<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>According to Krueger, MicroStrategy recently raised <strong>$3 billion<\/strong> through convertible bonds and may have utilized its <strong>at-the-market (ATM) equity issuance program<\/strong> to secure additional funds. He estimated that the company could have access to as much as <strong>$12 billion<\/strong> for Bitcoin acquisitions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%9C2_Billion_is_Just_the_Beginning%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>\u201c$2 Billion is Just the Beginning\u201d<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Krueger stated that the $2 billion USDT mint is likely only the start of a larger operation. He suggested that this fund could be rapidly deployed, with the bulk of it likely allocated by <strong>next Wednesday<\/strong>. This liquidity influx could drive Bitcoin prices <strong>up by $8,000<\/strong>, he predicted.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_141774\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-141774\" style=\"width: 1015px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-141774 size-full\" title=\"USDT Marketcap Graph\" src=\"https:\/\/coinmuhendisi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Ekran-goruntusu-2024-11-24-190556.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1015\" height=\"547\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-141774\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">USDT Marketcap Graph<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If fully utilized, these funds could allow MicroStrategy to add <strong>up to 120,000 new Bitcoins<\/strong> to its holdings, potentially pushing its Bitcoin reserves to unprecedented levels.<\/p>\n<p>Krueger also highlighted that such large purchases could impact <strong>MicroStrategy\u2019s market-adjusted net asset value (mNAV)<\/strong>. With the company\u2019s stock price at <strong>$426<\/strong>, its mNAV could drop from <strong>$3.3 billion<\/strong> to <strong>$2.6 billion<\/strong>, he explained.<\/p>\n<p>This development has sparked significant speculation in the crypto market. The potential <strong>USDT-driven Bitcoin purchases by MicroStrategy<\/strong> and their impact on Bitcoin\u2019s price trajectory remain key points of interest.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>You can also freely share your thoughts and comments about the topic in the comment section.
