The firm bought 600 BTC on August 20 and followed up with an additional 380 BTC purchase early today.
This transaction follows a 400 BTC purchase linked to a $23 million investment by Galaxy Digital on Monday. These steps by Galaxy Digital, led by Novogratz, can be seen as positioning the firm for the market’s future, having acquired 1,380 BTC worth $82.8 million in just three days.
The purchases have caught the attention of market observers amid recent Bitcoin price fluctuations. Despite this, Galaxy Digital’s ongoing acquisitions may indicate a potential future price increase. The firm’s BTC holdings have now surpassed 4,000 BTC according to wallet data.
What is Bitcoin’s Current Price?
Despite Galaxy Digital’s recent purchases, Bitcoin’s price has struggled to stay above the $60,000 level. Since early August, BTC has been trading between $50,000 and $60,000, causing investor concern as $60,000 has turned from support to resistance.
Meanwhile, market analysts continue to express optimism about Bitcoin, citing macroeconomic factors. For example, recent data from K33 Research suggests a potential short squeeze due to negative perpetual funding rates, which could lead to a significant price rally for Bitcoin.
Looking at Bitcoin’s price, it has fallen back to $59,332 after a 2.51% drop in the last 24 hours. There has been no price change in the last hour, and the value has decreased by 2.74% over the past seven days.
