Michael Saylor’s Strategy Purchases 1,895 Bitcoin
In a press release, Strategy announced that it had acquired 1,895 BTC for $180.3 million at an average price of $95,167 per bitcoin. The company has also achieved a BTC yield of 14.0% year-to-date (YTD). Meanwhile, MicroStrategy now holds 555,450 BTC, which it acquired for $38.08 billion at an average price of $68,550 per Bitcoin.
This development comes days after the company announced plans to raise $84 billion for Bitcoin purchases. The firm is already the public company with the largest Bitcoin holdings, way ahead of the second-placed Mara Holdings.
Strategy has also been on a hot streak, having acquired Bitcoin almost every week since the year began. Last week, Michael Saylor’s company acquired 15,355 Bitcoin for $1.42 billion, one of its largest purchases this year.
Amid this recent purchase, MicroStrategy’s stock price is in the red. Nasdaq data shows that the stock is currently down almost 3% in pre-market trading, trading at around $383.
However, it is worth mentioning that the MSTR stock price is up just over 36% year-to-date. It also remains the best-performing asset among all major assets since Saylor and his company adopted the Bitcoin Strategy back in 2020.
