Andrew Tate’s Bitcoin Post Sparks MicroStrategy Debate

Andrew Tate ignited a debate within the crypto community after questioning why MicroStrategy's recent purchase of approximately 10,000 BTC, worth nearly a billion dollars, failed to cause a visible upward movement in Bitcoin's price. Industry participants explained that large institutional buys like this are typically executed through Over-The-Counter (OTC) desks, matching buyers and sellers off public spot order books. Because these trades bypass public liquidity pools, they avoid slippage and do not immediately affect charts or price indices. Analysts noted that 10,000 BTC is only about 0.05% of circulating supply, and when sourced via negotiated block trades, the impact is minimal. The lack of immediate reaction highlights Bitcoin's deep liquidity and suggests that visible price movements often reflect later-stage order flow rather than the initial large acquisition itself. Some critics, however, suggest MicroStrategy's announcements are more about creating bullish sentiment than directly impacting the price.
