MicroStrategy Company Announces Bitcoin Acquisition
Michael Saylor announced that MicroStrategy has purchased $155 million worth of Bitcoin, reaching a total of 193,000 $BTC in the company’s holdings. This move comes ahead of Bitcoin’s halving and spot Bitcoin ETFs accumulating Bitcoin, making it a significant strategic move by Michael Saylor.
According to a new filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, MicroStrategy Inc. acquired approximately 3,000 Bitcoins for about $155.4 million in cash. The $BTC was purchased at an average price of $51,813 between February 15 and February 25, 2024.
Michael Saylor mentioned that MicroStrategy and its subsidiaries now own a total of 193,000 $BTC, acquired at an average price of $31,544, costing nearly $6.09 billion. The Bitcoin acquisition was funded with the proceeds from a share issuance and sale, as reported on November 30, 2023.
MicroStrategy’s latest purchase follows the acquisition on December 27, which cost around $615.7 million for 14,620 $BTC. Michael Saylor argues that MicroStrategy is not affected by the potential negative impact of launching an ETF on MSTR and defends that MicroStrategy, being a business company, is different from ETFs as ETFs are leveraged and charge fees.
