MicroStrategy Buys More BTC as Stock Becomes Member of Nasdaq 100 Index
MicroStrategy has acquired an additional 5,262 BTC for a total of $561 million, bringing its total Bitcoin holdings to 444,262. This purchase marks the company's seventh consecutive week of Bitcoin acquisition and was announced on the same day MicroStrategy joined the Nasdaq 100 index. The Bitcoin was purchased at an average price of $106,662 each, raising the average cost of MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin holdings to $62,257 per bitcoin, which now has a total market value of approximately $42.2 billion. The acquisitions were funded through share sales under the company's at-the-market program, which still has about $7.08 billion available. Although there was little change in MicroStrategy's share price during pre-market trading, the company's strategic focus on accumulating Bitcoin continues to solidify its position in the cryptocurrency market and among institutional investors.
