$50M Bitcoin Gamble! The Blockchain Group Snaps Up 580 BTC in Bold Market Move

The Blockchain Group, a France-based blockchain solutions company, has turned heads in the crypto space by acquiring 580 Bitcoin. This strategic purchase comes on the back of the huge price rise that the company’s stock has witnessed since they commenced their Bitcoin acquisition strategy in November 2024. The latest Bitcoin acquisition, worth approximately $50.64 million, was confirmed in a statement released on March 26, 2025. 

This remarkable investment brings The Blockchain Group’s total Bitcoin holdings to 620 BTC, reflecting a strong commitment to taking maximum advantage of the cryptocurrency market. The company’s previous purchases were also around key moments in the crypto world. On November 5, when Trump won the Presidential election, the company bought 15 BTC. Then, they added another 25 tokens to their Bitcoin holdings on December 4, right before Bitcoin reached the historic $100,000 mark. 

Community Questions Bitcoin Strategy Amid Massive Gains for Blockchain Group

The timing of this purchase, however, has sparked questions in the market. This buy occurs just a few days before the end of the first quarter, a period where Bitcoin’s performance has been underwhelming compared to previous years. Also, it comes very near the first anniversary of the 2024 Bitcoin halving, April 20. The Blockchain Group has introduced new key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure the growth and success of its Bitcoin strategy. The company has reported an impressive BTC Yield of around 709.8% year-to-date.

As interest in corporate Bitcoin adoption grows, The Blockchain Group aims to maximize shareholder value as a corporate Bitcoin holder. The Deputy CEO of the company, Alexandre Laizet, also shared the company’s strategy candidly, saying, “Our strategy is simple: accumulate Bitcoin and hold it indefinitely.” With this latest buying spree, the Blockchain Group positions itself as a prominent corporate Bitcoin holder. While the world turns to Bitcoin and tracks its movement, let us also take a quick peek at its performance in the past 24 hours with a detailed price analysis and a BTC price prediction at the end. 

BTC Price Analysis: BTC Holds Close to $88,000, Breakout Imminent?

Bitcoin started the day around the $87,300 mark, growing ever so slightly from a golden cross the previous day. The coin reached the $87,850 mark, consolidating there for a while before a downtrend appeared. Supported by a death cross, the fall took BTC to $87,050 by 03:50 UTC. However, as oversold conditions prevailed, Bitcoin did not spend a lot of time hovering around the low. An uptrend started, leading Bitcoin to establish a new resistance at $88,270. The strong rejection took BTC into a downtrend, looking to rubberband across the resistance. As BTC returned to test the $88,270 level, the resistance held strong and BTC was pushed into a steady downtrend, thanks to the death cross at 11:20.

A trading range appeared, looking to offer BTC a chance at recovery, but the selling pressure continued as Bitcoin continued to fall. The selling pressure finally lost steam around 19:00 UTC, with BTC at $85,900. Half an hour later, a golden crossover sent Bitcoin flying up, back $87,400 within two hours. The overbought conditions again brought the price action down. The BTC price was sent reeling down to $86,571. The buying pressure soon began building up again, pushing BTC to $87,756. Bitcoin continues to consolidate around this new resistance.

BTC Price Prediction: Will Bitcoin Go Above $88K Today?

Bitcoin, ever since its slump, has been recovering strong. However, the $90K still remains a coveted milestone to cross. Especially the $88,000 mark, which BTC has hovered around, remains a key level. Today, if an upward breakout takes place, going beyond $88K will be easy for the BTC price. However, if Bitcoin fails to gather enough buying momentum, the upwards growth will be much slower.
