Bitcoin holds near $82,000 as Strategy and Strive purchases offset macro jitters
- —Strategy bought 267 BTC for about $22.1 million on Oct. 12–18
- —Strive acquired 1,223 BTC on Oct. 14–16, lifting holdings to 36,818 BTC
- —The Nasdaq rose more than 1% on Oct. 19 as risk appetite returned
- —China's Q3 GDP grew 4.5% year-on-year, beating forecasts
Why it matters: Corporate demand and recovering risk appetite are keeping BTC above $80,000, though US inflation data remains the key near-term risk.
