The Bank is a provider of financial infrastructure solutions and services for the digital currency industry. The Company's platform, known as the Silvergate Exchange Network, provides payments, lending, and funding solutions for an expanding class of digital currency companies and investors.

With Stock prices at their lowest point and RSI down and Volume 585% higher than average, a full recovery is unlikely. ![](https://livetradingnews-media.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp/placeholder.svg) @DataaRocks posted a thread on Twitter about the situation. https://twitter.com/DataaRocks/status/1617787571375083521 MicroStrategy is one of the largest public Corporate owners of Bitcoin, and mine bitcoin with its extensive infrastructure.
