Sonny S. Watts YEREVAN (CoinChapter.com) — MicroStrategy acquired 130 Bitcoin (BTC) between March 10 and March 16, spending $10.7 million at an average price of $82,981 per BTC. This is the smallest Bitcoin purchase by the company since August 2024.
As of March 16, MicroStrategy holds 499,226 BTC, valued at $33.1 billion. The company’s average cost per Bitcoin is $66,000.
In contrast, MicroStrategy’s February purchase totaled $2 billion, with Bitcoin prices above $97,000. The difference between these two acquisitions highlights a change in MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin buying strategy.
MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Holdings and Recent Purchases
MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin holdings have grown significantly, but the latest purchase is smaller compared to previous acquisitions. The company recently raised $2 billion through a private offering of convertible senior notes, which likely funded its February purchase.
Michael Saylor, the company’s co-founder, posted on X:
“On-chain clues: Is Bitcoin gearing up for a major reversal? Active addresses peak, signaling potential bullish momentum ahead.”
The statement suggests the company is monitoring market signals while managing its Bitcoin investment strategy.
Bitcoin’s Price Drop and Market Conditions
Bitcoin’s price is currently near $83,000. Some analysts, including Arthur Hayes, believe Bitcoin has not yet bottomed and may fall to $70,000 before recovering.
If MicroStrategy shares this view, it may be waiting before making a larger investment.
MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Funding Strategy
Strategy’s Bitcoin funding strategy relies on stock sales and convertible notes instead of selling other assets. This allows the company to expand its Bitcoin portfolio while keeping its existing assets intact.
Raising capital for future purchases depends on maintaining investor confidence and financial stability. If debt increases relative to assets, it could affect the company’s ability to secure further funding.
