Strategy Boosts Bitcoin Holdings With $1.92B Purchase, Now Owns 528K BTC
MicroStrategy (MSTR) has further strengthened its position as the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, adding 22,048 BTC for $1.92 billion at an average price of $86,969 per coin, according to a Monday filing.
With this latest purchase, the company now holds 528,185 BTC, acquired at a total cost of $35.63 billion, with an average purchase price of $67,458 per BTC. At Bitcoin’s current value of around $82,000, Strategy’s total BTC holdings are worth over $43 billion.
The acquisition was largely financed through a $1.2 billion common stock issuance, alongside an additional $18.52 million from its STRK preferred share ATM. Additionally, Strategy finalized its STRF preferred share offering, raising another $711.2 million.
Despite the aggressive accumulation, MSTR shares slipped 4% in premarket trading, reflecting Bitcoin’s 3% dip since Friday’s market close.
