MicroStrategy adds 2,138 Bitcoin worth $209M to holdings
MicroStrategy has announced the acquisition of 2,138 Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) for $209 million between December 23 and 29.
The business intelligence firm used $209 million in cash to make the purchase at an average price of approximately $97,837 per BTC, according to a company filing.
The acquisition was funded through the sale of 592,987 company shares during the same week.
This purchase increases MicroStrategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to 446,400 BTC, valued at roughly $41.5 billion based on current market prices.
The company also reported a year-to-date Bitcoin yield of 74.1% as of December 30, with a yield of 47.8% for the fourth quarter alone.
Michael Saylor, MicroStrategy's co-founder and executive chairman, hinted at the purchase on December 29, referencing activity on the Saylor Tracker, a tool monitoring the firm’s Bitcoin transactions.
MicroStrategy has consistently purchased Bitcoin for eight consecutive weeks, adding 194,180 BTC since October 31.
However, the latest acquisition reflects a decline in the volume of purchases compared to November when the company bought over 100,000 BTC.
In a filing dated December 23 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, MicroStrategy disclosed its intention to increase the authorised number of Class A common and preferred shares.
The firm aims to raise the authorised Class A common stock from 330 million to 10.33 billion shares and increase preferred stock from 5 million to over 1 billion shares.
This move would provide greater flexibility for issuing additional shares to fund future Bitcoin acquisitions.
At the time of reporting, the Bitcoin price was $92,379.56.
