#StrategyBTCPurchase Unrealized gains from the Bitcoin strategy
The company's constant purchases have allowed it to consolidate its position as the largest publicly traded company with BTC reserves. So far, the unrealized gains of the former MicroStrategy from its investments in BTC amount to nearly US$ 30 billion. Notably, this return was achieved in just five years.
The 607,770 bitcoins that the company holds have a purchase price of US$ 43.61 billion. Meanwhile, at the current market price of BTC in the spot market, these reserves have a dollar value of US$ 71.94 billion. According to Saylor, this is just a small sample of the company's long-term performance.
It is worth noting that the historical average purchase price of BTC by the Strategy is US$ 71.756 per coin. This aggressive cryptocurrency buying strategy has become a target of criticism for the company. Critics argue that fully relying on a volatile asset like Bitcoin for corporate reserves creates enormous risk.
However, Saylor ignores the criticisms and emphasizes that Bitcoin purchases are precisely what protects the Strategy from risk. In his opinion, the greatest risk is represented by assets below BTC. He claims that, in relation to the largest cryptocurrency, everything tends toward zero, which means it is not worth investing in another asset that will inevitably depreciate in relation to Bitcoin.
