MicroStrategy, a leading Bitcoin holder, disclosed the purchase of an additional 2,530 BTC as posted by Bitcoin Therapist on X. This new addition increases the company’s total holdings to 450,000 BTC.
The investment, made at an average price of $95,972 per Bitcoin, cost $243 million. The latest purchase was revealed on January 13 through a press release and a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing.
The recent BTC acquisitions occurred between January 6 and January 12. The company funded the purchases using profits from the sale of shares under its Sales Agreement. The company has now spent $28.2 billion to acquire its total BTC holdings at an average price of $62,691 per Bitcoin.
