MicroStrategy announced that it has purchased 1,914 BTC for the month of December. The announcement came just as the crypto fell by around 30 percent from its November all-time high.
In a regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Virginia-based MicroStrategy announced that it has purchased approximately 1,914 BTC between December 9 and December 29. “The Company purchased approximately 1,914 bitcoins for approximately $94.2 million in cash, at an average price of approximately $49,229 per bitcoin, inclusive of fees and expenses,” the company said.
The Nasdaq-listed business intelligence firm has once again cemented its position as the top publicly-listed company with the largest Bitcoin holdings. “As of December 29, 2021, the Company held approximately 124,391 bitcoins that were acquired at an aggregate purchase price of $3.75 billion and an average purchase price of approximately $30,159 per bitcoin, inclusive of fees and expenses,” MicroStrategy added.
However, the announcement came as the crypto's price declined by around 30 percent from its all-time high of $68,990.90 set on November 10, 2021. At the time of writing, BTC traded at $47,143.84 based on Coindesk data.
Based on Bitcoin’s current price, MicroStrategy's BTC stash is valued at around $5.86 billion. This means that the company still made paper gains of $2.11 billion based on the aggregate purchase price of its crypto holdings of $3.75 billion.
MicroStrategy is bullish on Bitcoin and has made several purchases the crypto throughout this year. In November, it bought 7,002 BTCs staying true to its previous announcement that it will continue to add to its crypto holdings as part of its digital asset strategy.
“MicroStrategy has purchased an additional 7,002 bitcoins for ~$414.4 million in cash at an average price of ~$59,187 per bitcoin,” CEO Michael Saylor announced in a Twitter post last month. “As of 11/29/21, we hodl ~121,044 bitcoins acquired for ~$3.57 billion at an average price of ~$29,534 per bitcoin.”
The CEO views the crypto as a better inflation hedge than gold and personally owns 17,732 BTC. “Bitcoin offers better inflation protection than gold and is growing faster than big tech,” Saylor said
