MicroStrategy Now Holds Over 170,000 BTCs
The latest purchase was first disclosed in a Form 8-K document filed on November 29th with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). MicroStrategy noted that it purchased the 16,130 BTCs for approximately $593.3 million when BTC traded at $36,785.
MicroStrategy’s latest Bitcoin purchase trails its previous big buy of 5,445 BTCs (worth $147.3 million at the time of purchase) in late September. Bitcoin traded around $27,000 during that period.
The latest acquisition solidifies MicroStrategy’s position as the company holding the largest BTC holdings. Impressively, the firm presently holds over 0.83% of Bitcoin’s total supply.
The company’s Bitcoin portfolio now sits at 174,530 BTCs (worth over $6.5 billion). Interestingly, the total Bitcoin stash is in profits as the total holdings were purchased for around $5.28 billion at an average BTC price of $30,252.
MicroStrategy’s BTC Portfolio in the Green
Under the leadership of its co-founder and former CEO, Michael Saylor, MicroStrategy has maintained a three-year-long BTC acquisition spree. The company’s purchasing spree spanned across the 2021 bull run when BTC saw its all-time high (ATH) of around $68,000.
Despite the price drop that has affected BTC, the business intelligence firm has remained committed to stacking as many BTCs as possible. However, the company for the first time sold a portion of its BTC stash late last year.
When BTC soared above the $30,000 price mark last month, MicroStrategy’s BTC portfolio entered the green once again.
Presently, BTC trades at $37,700, a mild 1.3% increase over the past seven days. However, the asset remains 45.4% below its ATH value.
