MicroStrategy Continues Bitcoin Purchases: $458.2 Million in New Purchases.
The company has purchased an additional 7,420 Bitcoins at an average price of around $61,750. This information was shared by the company’s founder and CEO Michael Saylor.
“MicroStrategy has returned 5.1% quarter-to-date and 17.8% year-to-date,” Michael Saylor said.
With this latest purchase, MicroStrategy’s total Bitcoin holdings have increased to 252,220. The company has purchased a total of $9.9 billion worth of Bitcoin to date at an average price of around $39,266.
Based on Bitcoin’s current trading price of $62,945, MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin holdings are worth over $15.8 billion. The company owns over 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply and is the largest institutional investor in the crypto asset.
Marathon Digital Holdings, the second-largest institutional Bitcoin treasury, holds 26,200 Bitcoins worth around $1.6 billion. That’s well below MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin holdings.
MicroStrategy’s aggressive Bitcoin buying strategy is also having a positive impact on the company’s stock. MSTR shares have gained more than 360% in the past 12 months.
In July, the company announced a 10-to-1 stock split between its Class A and Class B common stocks. The move is reportedly aimed at making MicroStrategy shares more accessible to investors and employees.
Bitcoin has gained close to 20% since its September 2024 low of around $52,550. MicroStrategy’s strong commitment to Bitcoin and its large-scale purchases are drawing attention in the cryptocurrency market.
