Michael Saylor’s company, Strategy, has reaffirmed its commitment to Bitcoin by acquiring an additional 4,048 BTC, capitalizing on recent dips in the cryptocurrency’s price. This purchase fortifies its standing as the largest public Bitcoin holder globally.
How Much Did Strategy Spend?
Strategy revealed it spent $449.3 million for the acquisition at an average price of $110,981 per Bitcoin. This brings their Bitcoin reserves to an impressive 636,505 BTC. To date, Strategy has invested a substantial $46.95 billion in Bitcoin, with their overall average cost being $73,765 per BTC. This strategy has yielded a 25.7% return so far this year.
What Strategy Does in Bitcoin Dips?
Strategy’s recent acquisition of 4,048 BTC marks their fifth consecutive week of investing, further cementing their grip on over 3% of the total Bitcoin supply. In the previous week alone, the company purchased 3,081 BTC. A graph shared by Saylor on social media emphasized Bitcoin’s lower pricing and suggested further purchases are expected.
The firm’s dedication to a long-term accumulation strategy allows them to remain resilient against short-term market volatility. As institutional interest in Bitcoin escalates, Strategy positions itself as a major figure in the cryptocurrency market.
Bitcoin’s value witnessed a decrease of more than 12% after reaching a peak of $124,500 a couple of weeks back. Correspondingly, Strategy’s Nasdaq-listed MSTR shares experienced a 15% drop over the past month, closing at $334 last week, and nudging to $338 in pre-market trading.
Investing in Bitcoin remains a cornerstone of our strategy, reflecting our belief in its long-term value.
On the legal front, Strategy received a favorable outcome as a class-action lawsuit concerning accounting mishaps was retracted by the plaintiffs. The lawsuit’s dismissal “with prejudice” means the same claims cannot be re-filed, potentially increasing trust among investors.
