MicroStrategy’s Latest Bitcoin Purchase and its Impact on Total Holdings

MicroStrategy sealed the deal for the latest Bitcoin purchase at an average price of $100,386 per BTC. These funds were raised through the issuance and sale of shares under a convertible notes sales agreement. This move has expanded MicroStrategy’s and its subsidiaries’ total Bitcoin holdings to 439,000 BTC, valued at approximately $4.56 billion. The average purchase price of these holdings stands at $61,725 per BTC, and the total investment sums up to $27.1 billion.

MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Performance and Future Acquisition Plans

MicroStrategy’s founder, Michael Saylor, highlighted the impressive performance of the company’s Bitcoin investments, noting a 464% yield quarter-to-date and a 724% yield year-to-date. Interestingly, this latest Bitcoin acquisition comes after Saylor’s statement that he would continue buying Bitcoin even if the price exceeded $100,000. He further added that he wouldn’t hesitate to invest $1 billion daily in Bitcoin, even if the price reached $1 million per coin

MicroStrategy’s Forthcoming Entry into the NASDAQ 100

MicroStrategy’s aggressive Bitcoin buying strategy coincides with a surge in its share price, which has seen a 490% increase year-to-date. On December 14, NASDAQ announced that MicroStrategy’s stock would be included in the NASDAQ-100 Index, which tracks the performance of the 100 largest non-financial companies listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange. This announcement has sparked a further rise in MicroStrategy’s stock price.

Conclusion

MicroStrategy’s bold moves in the Bitcoin market underscore its confidence in the cryptocurrency’s potential. As the company prepares to join the NASDAQ-100 Index, the future seems promising for this Bitcoin giant. With Bitcoin trading at around $103,941, up by approximately 1.3% over the past 24 hours, MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin strategy appears to be paying off handsomely.
