So, on a proper account, the company’s debit on BTC holding is $2.918 billion with an average price of $26,769 per bitcoin.
Earlier in June, MicroStrategy acquired $400 Million by purchasing Bitcoin (BTC). Through this, the CEO, Saylor proves that the firm will continue growing along with bitcoins achieving its business goals in near future. As the business intelligence the firm, spends its cash on an everlasting valuable asset (BTC).
More so, the following week, MicroStrategy again spent another $100 million to its previous $400M to increase its BTC holdings. So, starting from December 2020 with an initial investment of $650 million for BTC purchase, MicroStrategy stands with huge pride holding a total of 108,992 BTC worth nearly $3 million.
However, with bearish crypto market status, with huge drop in BTC values and even with a large amount of business loss, MicroStrategy is very smart and strong in investing in Bitcoins. Besides a great loss in Q2 Financial results, the firm continues investing in digital assets which seems a bold move.
Thus, Saylor strongly believes that BTC is more of a digital property than being a currency. And through MicroStrategy, Bitcoins increases its value and with BTC holdings, the company also seeks attention in the marketplace.
