What did Binance CEO say?
Binance CEO CZ, Michael Saylor, said shortly after his Twitter announcement that the company’s Dollar cost averaging (DCA) strategy is working effectively. DCA is a strategy that investors use when buying. It involves buying a fixed amount of the same asset at regular intervals over a given period of time. This strategy aims to protect against asset price volatility.
This method is used to distribute risk and balance costs, especially in volatile markets. The investor can lower its average cost by buying more units as the asset price falls. Binance CEO CZ says this strategy has worked successfully for MicroStrategy so far.
