MicroStrategy acquires more Bitcoin
Earlier this week, Michael Saylor announced yet another Bitcoin purchase as MicroStrategy bought another large BTC lump – 11,931 BTC, paying approximately $786 million for it. Now, the company holds a staggering 226,331 Bitcoin worth $8.33 billion in total.This BTC was acquired at an average price of $65,883 per coin. MicroStrategy is now the leading corporate cryptocurrency holder by a large margin.
This mega Bitcoin purchase was possible thanks to the company recently raising $800 million in debt using convertible senior notes sold to investors. The initial goal was to raise $500 million to buy more BTC and to use the rest of the funds for operational expenses.
However, later, the goal was expanded from $500 million to $800 million.
