This is the firm’s first acquisition since June when it secured 480 bitcoin for around $10 million. According to an 8-K filing with the SEC, MicroStrategy and its subsidiaries now own approximately 130,000 Bitcoins for an acquisition price of about $3.98 billion.
Michael Saylor stepped down as CEO of the firm in August and took on a new role as executive chairman to focus more on Bitcoin.
On September 9, the firm announced plans to sell up to $500 million in class A common stock and could buy more Bitcoin during this most recent purchase period.
“We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of Bitcoin, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement,” the filing stated.
According to Coinbase data, Bitcoin was trading at $19,072 at the time of writing, up about 2.08% in the previous 24 hours.
