It is planned that the implementation of this function will occur in 4 months, in July 2021.

On the same day, it became known that a large Chinese photo processing company Meitu, which is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, had invested $40 million in Ethereum and Bitcoin. Moreover, according to their plan, there is a possibility that the same company will deploy its own decentralized applications on the Ethereum network.

A few days later, on Friday, CEO Michael Saylor announced that his company had acquired an additional $10 million worth of Bitcoins. Thus, the total Bitcoin balance of Microstrategy is 91,064 BTC.

On the daily timeframe, the chart came close to the downtrend, which we marked with a red line. Most likely, in the coming days, the price can gain a foothold above it. This will be a bullish signal for Bitcoin.
