MicroStrategy has acquired an additional 15,400 BTC for $1.5 billion, bringing its total holdings to 402,100 BTC worth over $38 billion.

What’s the Scoop?

  • MicroStrategy's most recent purchase bought 15,400 BTC at $95,976 per Bitcoin. This acquisition was funded by selling 3.7M shares, matching the $1.5 billion purchase.
  • Total BTC holdings acquired at an average price of $58,263 per BTC, costing $23.4 billion. MicroStrategy targets $42 billion in capital raises to continue its BTC strategy.

Bankless Take:

MicroStrategy’s relentless accumulation cements its status as a corporate Bitcoin Bitcoin pioneer. By leveraging equity and fixed-income raises, the firm is aligning its long-term vision with Bitcoin’s scarcity. However, sustained success hinges on BTC’s appreciation; significant market downturns could amplify shareholder risks. Michael Saylor’s advocacy could inspire broader institutional adoption, further intertwining Bitcoin with corporate finance.
