Michael Saylor, co-founder of Strategy, announced an impending Bitcoin purchase, highlighting investor confidence in BTC amidst the Israel-Iran conflict, which could impact global financial markets. On June 9, Strategy made a purchase of 1,045 BTC, worth around $110 million, increasing their total holdings to 582,000 BTC. This investment has shown a gain of over 50%, translating to more than $20 billion in unrealized capital gains. Despite the geopolitical tensions, Bitcoin has remained resilient, with its price holding steady around $105,000 following recent military actions. Additionally, Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) welcomed over $1.3 billion in inflows this week, signifying strong market interest. However, market analysts caution that ongoing conflicts might adversely affect risk asset prices in the near term, particularly with rising operational costs due to energy supply disruptions.
