MicroStrategy Could Be Up $1.5B If It Had Bought Ethereum Instead
If Microstrategy had chosen to invest in Ethereum instead of Bitcoin things might have worked out differently.
This Blockchain Center has provided a comparison page for Microstrategy crypto investment it has used the Bitcoin purchases the firm made and overlaid them with what would have happened if they had been Ethereum instead.
The software firm RightNow holds 130,000 BTC and is the biggest crypto holder. that investment which began in August 2020 with a quarter of a billion dollar buy is worth $2.63 billion right now.
Microstrategy is down $1.34 billion on its cumulative investment as per the comparison site it would be up $1.47 billion if it had bought Ethereum instead.
