This report is examining the case of Bitcoin (BTC), a digital currency that registered an increase this October 8, trading at about $10,733 per unit, with a notable increase of 1% in the last 24 hours.
It is evident that the increase was preceded by a fall and that had its lowest point at around 6:00 am (New York time) when the digital currency was trading at about $10,569. After hovering above $ 10,608 less than an hour ago, Bitcoin saw a steep rise that extends to press time.
This increase seems to react to recently published reports, in which various media echo the investment made by Jack Dorsey’s company, Square, which allocated around $50 million for the purchase of BTC funds.
Analysts suggest that an investment of this caliber by a reputable company generates a good impact on the digital currency ecosystem, creating stimulus of interest from other participants that come from a variety of more traditional sectors.
