MicroStrategy Breaks its Own Record: Another Massive Purchase for 55,500 BTC (Worth $5.4B)

As a seasoned researcher who has been tracking the cryptocurrency market for years now, I find myself constantly amazed by MicroStrategy’s bold moves under the astute leadership of Michael Saylor. It seems like every business week is a new opportunity for this giant to break its own record in Bitcoin purchases.


Once more, the business intelligence heavyweight steered by Michael Saylor has made history on a Monday, surpassing its previous record with the biggest ever single Bitcoin acquisition.

This week’s announcement states that MicroStrategy purchased approximately 55,500 Bitcoins at a cost averaging around $98,000 per coin.

MicroStrategy recently purchased approximately 55,500 Bitcoins for around $5.4 billion, with each Bitcoin costing about $97,862. This acquisition has resulted in a quarter-to-date (QTD) Bitcoin Yield of 35.2% and a year-to-date (YTD) yield of 59.3%. As of November 24, 2024, we hold a total of 386,700 Bitcoins, which were acquired for approximately $21.9 billion, with each Bitcoin costing around $56,761. The ticker symbol for MicroStrategy is MSTR.

Almost every workweek starts off with a significant Bitcoin purchase by the world’s biggest custodian, which has now turned into a common practice.

Following last week’s massive $4.6 billion purchase (equivalent to 51,780 BTC, a transaction Saylor referred to as the largest single Bitcoin acquisition), the company has once more surged ahead, setting a new benchmark for itself.

The previous CEO of MicroStrategy has revealed a new Bitcoin acquisition worth approximately $5.4 billion, or 55,500 Bitcoins, with each Bitcoin costing around $97,862. With this purchase, the company now holds a total of 386,700 Bitcoins, which were purchased at an average price of $56,761 per coin.

The company has shelled out approximately $22 billion in total to build up its cryptocurrency holdings. With Bitcoin currently valued at around $98,000 per coin, their investment now stands at nearly $38 billion – representing a substantial paper profit of over $16 billion.

Since MicroStrategy adopted its bitcoin strategy, the company’s share prices have experienced significant growth. In just the first part of this year, MSTR stocks have surged over 500% – an impressive increase, even considering the temporary downturn that has occurred more recently.

There’s been a growing curiosity around MSTR, with some instances even showing that its trading volumes exceed those of Apple, Amazon, and Meta collectively.
