Bitcoin Jumps to Over $84,800 After ETF Flows Turn Positive

A powerful rally across Wall Street spilled into crypto on Monday, sending Bitcoin above $87,000 and smaller tokens sharply higher as investors rushed back into riskier assets.

The original cryptocurrency surged as much as 7.7% to $87,354 in New York, extending a rebound of more than $10,000 from last week’s lows as crypto markets pushed past the failure of landmark US legislation and the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate increase. The original cryptocurrency is back at late-January levels but remains roughly a third below its record last October.

Strategy Makes First Purchase of Bitcoin Since August

Michael Saylor’s Strategy purchased Bitcoin for the first time in three weeks, acquiring $75.7 million of the original cryptocurrency after seeking to rebuild investor confidence by reshaping its balance sheet and building out reserves. Strategy jumped 9% on Monday.

The original Bitcoin treasury company — co-founded and run by Saylor — also repurchased $174 million of its STRC perpetual preferred shares, part of its effort to lift the price above par so that the securities can be used again to finance future Bitcoin purchases. Cash was used to fund both transactions, Strategy said in a filing on Monday. The preferred trade just below $99.
