The former CEO announced the latest acquisition on X, indicating that the firm’s total stash has now surged to 279,420 purchased to an averaged price of $42,692 per bitcoin. This means that MicroStrategy has spent in total approximately $11.9 billion.

Keeping in mind BTC’s current price tag of roughly $82,000, this means that the Wall Street-listed company’s holdings are worth over $22.9 billion. As such, it sits on a paper profit of roughly $11 billion.

MicroStrategy began its BTC accumulation strategy in mid-2020 and has made countless acquisitions since then with no plans to sell anytime soon. Most recently, the firm announced plans to spend another $42 billion over the next three years to add even more BTC to its balance sheet.

The cryptocurrency’s price has been on a roll lately, especially after Donald Trump’s landslide victory in the 24 US presidential elections. It stood below $70,000 back then but shot up by over 18% in the next week or so and broke above $82,000 earlier today to chart a new all-time high.
