Michael Saylor, founder of Strategy, has stated that a new bull run has begun for 
Bitcoin, asserting that the market is still in its early stages. This claim comes amidst a period of market resilience, with Bitcoin's price holding steady near the $85,000 mark.
Brave New Coin reports that Peter Schiff has expressed surprise at Bitcoin's ability to maintain its value despite renewed concerns over Federal Reserve interest-rate policy. This suggests a level of market confidence that contrasts with traditional economic indicators.
According to Brave New Coin, Saylor's company has expanded its Bitcoin treasury to 848,250 BTC. This significant accumulation indicates a strong institutional commitment to Bitcoin, potentially influencing market dynamics.
The broader cryptocurrency market remains relatively flat, with a total market cap of $2.87 trillion. Bitcoin itself has seen a modest 24-hour increase of 0.22%, currently trading at $83,324, with a market cap of $1.67 trillion. The Fear & Greed index stands at 62, indicating a state of 'Greed' among investors.
The resilience of Bitcoin's price and Saylor's bullish stance suggest a potential for continued market growth. However, the influence of macroeconomic factors, such as Federal Reserve policy, will be a key factor to watch in the coming months.
