MicroStrategy Doubles Down on Bitcoin, Buys 7,633 BTC for $742M

MicroStrategy, the software and Bitcoin treasury company, has made its first Bitcoin purchase since rebranding to Strategy. The company announced that it has acquired 7,633 BTC for $742 million at an average price of $97,255 per Bitcoin, bringing its total BTC holdings to 478,740.

The purchase, which was made at a 4.1% year-to-date (YTD) yield, is a testament to MicroStrategy's commitment to its Bitcoin strategy. The company, now doing business as Strategy, has held a significant amount of Bitcoin in its treasury since 2020, when it first started investing in the cryptocurrency.

As part of the rebrand, MicroStrategy unveiled a new logo featuring a Bitcoin symbol, signifying its unique position as a Bitcoin Treasury company. The rebranding was seen as a reaffirmation of the company's commitment to its Bitcoin strategy, which has been a significant part of its corporate strategy for several years.

The company's latest purchase comes as the cryptocurrency market continues to evolve and grow. Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has seen significant price fluctuations in recent months, but MicroStrategy's commitment to the asset remains steadfast.

MicroStrategy's CEO, Michael Saylor, has been a vocal advocate for Bitcoin and has been instrumental in the company's decision to invest in the cryptocurrency. The company's latest purchase is a reflection of its long-term strategy to hold Bitcoin as a reserve asset, rather than as a trading asset.

The company's latest purchase also comes as the broader cryptocurrency market continues to face regulatory challenges and market volatility. However, MicroStrategy's commitment to its Bitcoin strategy remains unchanged, and the company continues to view Bitcoin as a valuable asset for its treasury.
