Strategy CEO Puts an End to Bitcoin Sale Rumors! “We Won’t Sell BTC Until This Date!” – New Bitcoin Proposal from Michael Saylor!
The post Strategy CEO Puts an End to Bitcoin Sale Rumors! “We Won’t Sell BTC Until This Date!” – New Bitcoin Proposal from Michael Saylor! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Following the decline in Bitcoin, it has become a frequent topic of discussion whether the institutional BTC bull Strategy will sell BTC.
