Michael Saylor Strategy Adds 75 Million in Bitcoin Days Before Market Crash
Company now holds over 713000 BTC worth more than 3.4 percent of total Bitcoin supply
The relatively modest purchase brings Strategys total holdings to 713,502 bitcoin, representing more than 3.4 percent of bitcoins maximum 21 million supply. The company has accumulated these holdings at an average price of 76,052 dollars per coin.
With bitcoin currently trading around 77,000 dollars, the companys position is roughly at break-even after weathering the recent volatility that saw prices drop below purchase averages.
The 75 million dollar acquisition is small by Strategys standards - the company has previously made multi-billion dollar purchases. However, it demonstrates the firms continued conviction in bitcoin as a corporate treasury asset despite market turbulence.
Strategys total bitcoin position is now valued at approximately 56 billion dollars at current prices, making it by far the largest corporate holder of the cryptocurrency.
