MicroStrategy, the Michael Saylor-founded business intelligence giant, which is also the largest corporate holder of bitcoin, made another notable purchase ($29.3 million worth of the asset).
It helped the company to round up its massive BTC stash to 140,000.
- After several months of keeping relatively quiet when the cryptocurrency’s price was struggling below $20,000, the NASDAQ-listed firm began accumulating bitcoin in March when it bought another batch of 6,500 BTC. Moreover, the company repaid a $205 million loan that it took a year earlier from the now-struggling Silvergate Bank.
- The firm’s former CEO – Michael Saylor – announced the second purchase of the year on April 5. MicroStrategy bought 1,045 bitcoin for $29.3 million at an average price of $28,016.
- While this is far from the firm’s largest single purchase, it managed to round up the company’s BTC ownings to 140,000.
