- Keeping in mind the multiple purchases made since August 2020, the firm holds 92,079 bitcoins. MicroStrategy has paid $2.251 billion for its stash, with an average price of $24,450 per token.
- Although this is far from being the largest single acquisition, as the company once bought more than $1 billion worth of BTC, this one actually comes in a compelling moment.
- In fact, buying 10 million coins at an average price of $43,663 means that MicroStrategy has taken advantage of a popular narrative in the crypto community – buy the dip.
- The price of the primary cryptocurrency has suffered severely in the past week or so after Elon Musk announced that Tesla has stopped receiving BTC payments for its electric vehicles.
- In a matter of days, bitcoin fell from over $58,000 to a three-month low of $42,000.
- Although losing $16,000 of value in less than a week could be considered a major blow, and some investors disposed of their coins even at a loss, MicroStrategy has reaffirmed its promise to continue buying bitcoin as part of its reserve treasury strategy.
