In a world where many businesses are cutting back on spending, it’s refreshing to see one enter the market with an acquisition. The NASDAQ-listed business intelligence giant MicroStrategy, to stay trustworthy and loyal with their word of acquisition for bitcoins no matter what – even during this recent bitcoin selloff, has announced another purchase worth $25 million.
Michael Saylor, the CEO, has announced today that they’ve bought another 660 bitcoins at an average price of $37,865 per coin.
“MicroStrategy has purchased an additional 660 bitcoins for $25 million in cash at an average price of $37,865 per bitcoin. As of 1/31/22, we hold 125,051 bitcoins acquired for $3.78 billion at an average price of $30,200 per bitcoin.”
The company is relentless in its quest to buy up as much bitcoin. It will not stop buying cryptocurrency regardless of whether prices are high or low. MicroStrategy’s previous purchase of 1,434 Bitcoin for $82.4 million adds to its ever-growing collection and shows no signs that it’ll stop anytime soon.
