MicroStrategy Doubles Down on Bitcoin, Acquires 12,000 BTC for $821.7 Million

Wall Street firm MicroStrategy has further solidified its position as a major Bitcoin bull with another mega acquisition of Bitcoin.

The company announced today that it has acquired an additional 12,000 BTC for approximately $821.7 million.

This latest purchase comes as Bitcoin continues to test its new all-time-high of $70,000 .

MicroStrategy reportedly funded the purchase through a combination of proceeds from convertible notes and excess cash on hand. The average price per Bitcoin acquired works out to roughly $68,477.

Going all in, MicroStrategy has earned a shining reputation for its aggressive Bitcoin investment strategy.

This latest purchase brings the company's total Bitcoin holding to over 205,000 BTC, acquired at an average price of around $33,706 each.

The company's CEO, Michael Saylor, has been a vocal proponent of Bitcoin, touting it as a superior hedge against inflation and a valuable long-term store of value.

In a latest interview with CNBC, he said that Bitcoin would eventually ‘eat gold’, highlighting the asset’s rising profile in the financial world. 

MSTR's Long Term Bet

MicroStrategy's continued investment in Bitcoin is a positive signal for the cryptocurrency market. Large institutional purchases can help boost investor confidence and potentially drive further price increases.

However, some analysts caution that Bitcoin remains a volatile asset class. The recent surge could be followed by a correction, and investors should be prepared for price fluctuations.
