MicroStrategy Announces Enormous Bitcoin (BTC) Purchase: Details

As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial markets, I have witnessed numerous paradigm shifts and trends that have redefined industries. The latest move by MicroStrategy, led by co-founder Michael Saylor, to invest $458.2 million in Bitcoin is yet another testament to the growing influence of cryptocurrencies in the mainstream financial world.


MicroStrategy, a business intelligence firm, has increased its Bitcoin holdings by approximately $458.2 million as confirmed in a statement released by co-founder Michael Saylor last Friday. This brings the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 252,220 coins, which equates to around $15.85 billion at current market prices. It is important to note that MicroStrategy currently owns approximately 1.25% of all Bitcoins in circulation. The average cost per coin purchased by the company now stands at roughly $39,266. With Bitcoin’s current value, this investment has yielded an impressive profit of around $5.95 billion for the company.

The largest cryptocurrency is currently changing hands at $62,928. 

As usual, the mammoth purchase had little impact on the market since MicroStrategy’s moves are mostly priced in by the market. 

Earlier today, the price of Bitcoin briefly surged above the $64,000 level. 

On Friday, MicroStrategy also announced that it has secured a whopping $1 billion with the help of its most recent debt offering.
