Synopsis
MicroStrategy Inc. made its largest Bitcoin purchase since December 2020, acquiring approximately 27,200 BTC for around $2.03 billion between October 31 and November 10, 2024. The enterprise software maker, which has embraced Bitcoin as part of its corporate strategy, now holds a significant cryptocurrency reserve.
MicroStrategy Inc. bought about 27,200 Bitcoin for around $2.03 billion, the largest purchase by the crypto hedge-fund proxy since just after it began acquiring the digital-asset more than four years ago.
The enterprise software maker, whose corporate strategy now includes buying the cryptocurrency, bought the tokens between Oct. 31 and Nov. 10, according to a statement on Monday. It’s the largest amount of tokens purchased since the firm announced in December 2020 that it snapped up 29,646 Bitcoin.
MicroStrategy co-funder and Chairman Michael Saylor decided to invest in Bitcoin in 2020 as a hedge against inflation. The firm initially used cash to make the purchases, and has shifted to using the proceeds from the issuance and sale of stock, as well as convertible debt sales to leverage its buying power.
