The worldâs biggest corporate holder of bitcoin continues with its accumulation phase by allocating another $209 million to purchase 2,136 BTC.
With this eight consecutive Monday purchase, the companyâs stash has skyrocketed to over 446,000 BTC.
After the multi-billion dollar acquisitions announced in November and early December, MicroStrategy has slowed down on its BTC investments but still continues to allocate millions.
The latest, announced by co-founder Michael Saylor earlier today, came at an average price of $97.834 per BTC. The firm has now spent just shy of $28 billion to accumulate its stash at an average price of $62,428.
Although bitcoinâs price stands around 15% away from its all-time high registered last week, MicroStrategyâs holdings have a current value of $41.5 billion. This means that the firm now stands on an unrealized profit of more than $13 billion.
As it happened with the last couple of purchases, though, Peter Schiff, the well-known BTC critic, was first to bash Saylor and the company he co-founded. The gold bug has repeatedly claimed that MicroStrategyâs purchases are the only thing that pushed BTCâs price north. He now said that this âsmaller buyâ with an average price above the current one cannot keep the asset rising.
Itâs worth noting that BTCâs price has indeed tumbled in the past couple of weeks. It went from over $108,000 to its current level of $93,000, losing 15% in the process after the latest FOMC meeting for the year.

Once again youâve announced a smaller buy at an average price thatâs above the current price. Youâre no longer buying enough Bitcoin to keep the price rising.
