Bitcoin drives back toward $80k—but one billionaire may be fueling much of the rally

Bitcoin has rallied 15% to around $77,000 in April, partially driven by Michael Saylor's Strategy firm, which has acquired 100,000+ Bitcoin worth $7.7 billion. Strategy's holdings now exceed BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF, funded through STRC perpetual preferred shares paying 11.5% dividends. Acquisition momentum has slowed as STRC trading fell below par value.
