Alternatively, we can say that Microstrategy is currently in $7 billion+ profit, which is a very big amount for this company.
Today Saylor appeared in an interview with CNBC and there he said that Bitcoin is a digital property, which is much better than Gold, equity, or real-estate assets.
#Bitcoin is Digital Property. It is superior to other investments such as Gold, Equity, or Real Estate because it is digital, available, global, ethical, & useful to millions of companies and billions of people. pic.twitter.com/738dblB0Zt

This big amount of Bitcoin held by Microstrategy is now a very big catalytic factor to create peer pressure among other companies to join the Bitcoin journey.
These days, many insurance & savings companies have shown an inclination toward Bitcoin. Reportedly many companies & institutions are in due diligence to get approval to buy Bitcoin via Bitcoin spot ETF products.
These days, the majority of the fund managers in America are looking to get approval for Ethereum spot ETF applications. However, there is huge uncertainty around Ethereum spot ETF products approval chances but many people are expecting that Ethereum will bring the next level of money inflow in the Crypto sector because there are many use cases of Ethereum over Bitcoin.
