Another financial giant reported an increase in investment in bitcoin. Canadian investment firm Cypherpunk announced last Thursday that it had purchased 72,979 BTC since June 30, 2020.
The increase in Bitcoin reserves was the result of the liquidation of the company's assets in Ether (ETH) and Monero (XRM) for up to C $ 388,000 and C $ 505,000, respectively. Currently, the investment company controls 276,479 bitcoins for a total amount of up to $ 4.8 million.
