Strategy Acquires 130 Bitcoin

Michael Saylor's Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) announced the acquisition of 130 Bitcoin at an average price of $82,981 per coin. The purchase, made between March 10th and 16th, totaled approximately $10.7 million.

Key Takeaways:

  • 130 Bitcoin acquired during the week ending March 16th.
  • Acquisition funded by selling Series A preferred stock, generating $10.7 million in net proceeds.
  • This is Strategy's smallest Bitcoin purchase since April.

This latest acquisition marks Strategy's return to Bitcoin accumulation after a two-week pause, following their previous purchase in late February. The company's total Bitcoin holdings now stand at 499,226 BTC, valued at over $41.6 billion at current prices. This represents over 2% of Bitcoin's total supply.

The purchase was financed by the sale of 123,000 shares of Strategy's 8.00% Series A perpetual strike preferred stock, generating the necessary funds. Importantly, no Class A common stock was sold during this period.

Michael Saylor, Strategy's co-founder and executive chairman, stated that the company's total Bitcoin holdings were acquired at an average price of $66,360 per BTC, inclusive of fees and expenses.
