MicroStrategy announced the purchase of 18,300 Bitcoins totaling $1.11 billion, elevating its net Bitcoin holdings to 244,800 BTC worth $9.45 billion. This marks one of the company's largest Bitcoin investments, aligning with its strategy of leveraging debt to amplify its cryptocurrency stake.
MicroStrategy Invests $1.11 Billion in Bitcoin
In a filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the business intelligence company MicroStrategy announced on Friday that it had bought 18,300 Bitcoins with a value of $1.11 billion.
According to Michael Saylor, the executive chairman of the corporation, the net amount of Bitcoins that the company possesses has climbed to 244,800 Bitcoins, which is equivalent to $9.45 billion. One of the most significant Bitcoin purchases made by the company is this one.
MicroStrategy recently made an announcement regarding the purchase of 11,931 Bitcoins via a private sale of convertible senior notes that was worth $800 million.
MicroStrategy Leveraging Debt for Crypto
The company stated that it intended to use the funds largely for the purpose of purchasing further Bitcoin, which is in line with its current strategy of leveraging debt in order to increase its stake in cryptocurrency operations. In the meantime, the convertible senior notes are senior and unsecured, which means that they have a greater claim priority than other debt but do not have any collateral support as reported by Coingape.
During the premarket hours following the announcement that MicroStrategy has purchased Bitcoin, the price of MSTR shares is very volatile. At $131.05 on Friday, the price of MSTR stock has increased by only 0.21%.
Bitcoin Price Remains Sideways
Due to the fact that traders did not react promptly to MicroStrategy's acquisition of Bitcoin, the price action of Bitcoin has continued to remain sideways.
The price of Bitcoin is presently trading at $57,836, with a low within the past 24 hours of $57,354 and a high within the same time period of $58,534. The volume of trades has also reduced by fifteen percent over the course of the past twenty-four hours.
