MicroStrategy boosts bitcoin portfolio with additional $347m investment

MicroStrategy has announced the acquisition of an additional 12,333 bitcoins, investing roughly $347 million, thereby solidifying its position as a significant player in the crypto landscape.

As per a recent Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing, MicroStrategy, under the helm of Michael Saylor, has expanded its bitcoin portfolio with an additional investment of $347 million.

The purchase, executed between April 29 and June 27, added 12,333 bitcoins to the company’s digital asset inventory, bought at an average rate of approximately $28,136 per coin.

This significant purchase escalates MicroStrategy’s total holdings to 152,333 BTC. Given the current trading value of bitcoin, hovering around $30,300 per coin, the net worth of the company’s digital assets totals nearly $4.6 billion.

The accumulation of these assets, including fees and expenses, has cost MicroStrategy an estimated $4.52 billion, implying an average acquisition cost of about $29,668 per bitcoin.

MicroStrategy’s latest venture into the cryptocurrency market occurred two months after its April purchase of 1,045 bitcoins for approximately $23.9 million.

The company’s top executives, including Saylor, remain ardent supporters of bitcoin, the premier and most capitalized cryptocurrency globally. Last month, CEO Phong Le affirmed the firm’s commitment to its bitcoin-focused strategy, given the ongoing maturation of the digital asset sector.

Bitcoin has recently experienced an upward price trend, boosted by several applications for spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States. Notably, asset management titan BlackRock has lodged an application, rejuvenating enthusiasm in the cryptocurrency arena.

Meanwhile, MicroStrategy’s first-quarter financial performance this year exhibited robust results. The firm recorded a net income of $461.2 million, a sharp turnaround from a net loss of $130.8 million in the same period the previous year and a net loss of $249.7 million in the final quarter of 2022.

JPMorgan Bullish on Bitcoin’s Growth as Institutional Investment Pours In 

Join Our Telegram channel to stay up to date on breaking news coverage The increased attention from institutional investors has been a game-changer for Bitcoin this year. Some analysts even believe that a greater influx of these investors could propel the asset to a 1,000 percent gain in the coming years.  The Big Bucks Keep Coming In  Earlier this month, analysts at top investment bank JPMorgan published a report suggesting that Bitcoin is poised to see record gains in the future if acceptance from institutional investors continues. If this happens, the asset could eventually beat out gold once and for all.  JPMorgan’s paper began with an acknowledgment of Bitcoin’s rise within the past month – a period where the asset moved from the mid-$11,000 level to over $15,000, per data from CoinMarketCap.
