A research firm has broken down how the Bitcoin price has reacted to purchases Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy has made over the years.

MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Purchases Have Been Followed By Negative Price Action

K33 Research, formerly Arcane Research, has released a new analysis piece that looks into how the market has been impacted by each buying spree that MicroStrategy has gone on.

The research firm has found that Bitcoin has usually observed an upside during the periods MicroStrategy has been making its purchases. Note that by during, what is meant here is the actual dates the purchases happened and not when the announcements were made.

Here is a chart that displays the returns of Bitcoin during each of the periods where MicroStrategy purchased at least 1,000 BTC over the last few years:
