MicroStrategy Took its Bitcoin Holdings to 140K With Another Purchase

MicroStrategy, the Michael Saylor-founded business intelligence giant, which is also the largest corporate holder of bitcoin, made another notable purchase ($29.3 million worth of the asset).

It helped the company to round up its massive BTC stash to 140,000.

  • After several months of keeping relatively quiet when the cryptocurrency’s price was struggling below $20,000, the NASDAQ-listed firm began accumulating bitcoin in March when it bought another batch of 6,500 BTC. Moreover, the company repaid a $205 million loan that it took a year earlier from the now-struggling Silvergate Bank.
  • The firm’s former CEO – Michael Saylor – announced the second purchase of the year on April 5. MicroStrategy bought 1,045 bitcoin for $29.3 million at an average price of $28,016.
  • While this is far from the firm’s largest single purchase, it managed to round up the company’s BTC ownings to 140,000.
  • MicroStrategy began its BTC accumulation strategy in August 2020. It has spent just under $4.2 billion for its 140K BTC, at an average price of $29,803 per bitcoin.
  • Recall that the firm’s position was deep underwater just up until a few months ago when the asset’s price had dumped way below $20,000. Now, though, MicroStrategy is almost at break even.
