MicroStrategy will spend another $600M to buy more than 16,000 BTC.
MicroStrategy, the NASDAQ-listed business intelligence software giant that made waves three years ago with its pro-Bitcoin strategy, has made another acquisition spree.
The firm's former CEO and founder – Michael Saylor – disclosed the purchase of BTC worth nearly $600 million.
Sayler said the firm he founded three decades ago spent $593.3 million to buy 16,130 BTC more, at an average price of $36,785 per bitcoin. This is MicroStrategy's second BTC purchase of November. As previously reported, the company bought 155 BTC for $5.3 million at the beginning of the month. The latest purchase brings the company's total savings to 174,530 BTC. It cost less than $5.3 billion to acquire the measure. This means that Microstrategy is sitting on a huge profit of more than $1.2 billion, compared to BTC's current price of $37,750.
