According to the announcement, Tron DAO stated that the 500 BTC were purchased at an aggregate price of $15.5 million, which represents $31,031.35 for each unit of Bitcoin bought. TRON DAO Reserve also purchased 595,729,832 TRX for $45,641,630 at an average price of $0.07661.

Tron Follows El Salvador Footprint
Reacting to the recent development, Justin Sun, the CEO and founder of Tron, disclosed on his Twitter account that the move further echoes the voice of President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador, who has been one of the pioneers promoting Bitcoin’s widespread adoption.

Bitcoin’s Recent Dip Provides Opportunities
Bitcoin, has once again, presented investors with another opportunity to increase their holding in the top asset class, as its price fell from nearly $40,000 on Thursday last week to below $30,000 yesterday.
The decline in the world’s largest cryptocurrency price prompted Tether, the popular stable coin issuer, to mint $1 billion worth of USDT on the Tron blockchain, suggesting a possible rally in the crypto market.
