MicroStrategy makes largest Bitcoin haul yet with US$5.4 billion purchase

MicroStrategy has acquired US$5.4 billion worth of Bitcoin — its largest single purchase to date — bringing the company's total holdings to 386,700 BTC.

With Bitcoin dropping below US$95,000 today, that brings the value of MicroStrategy’s total holdings to approximately US$65.5 billion. 

The technology company, led by CEO Michael Saylor, on November 25 purchased approximately 55,500 Bitcoin at an average price of US$97,862 per coin using proceeds from convertible note offerings and share sales.

The acquisition marks a significant acceleration in MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin strategy. The company has purchased around 134,480 Bitcoin — worth US$13 billion — in November alone, compared to its previous three-year accumulation pattern.

Despite a recent slide, the company’s stock is up 58% over the past month and is up nearly 500% year-to-date.

MicrosStrategy has been the bastion of corporate Bitcoin acquisitions recently as the trend gains momentum, with technology companies exploring digital asset strategies as potential treasury diversification methods.
