Strategy Buys $1.25 Billion in Bitcoin in Largest Purchase Since July
Michael Saylor’s Strategy acquired almost $1.25 billion in Bitcoin, marking the company’s largest purchase of the digital asset since July.
The former MicroStrategy bought 13,627 Bitcoin between Jan. 5 and Jan. 11, according to a regulatory filing on Monday. The majority of the most recent acquisitions were made using proceeds from at-the-market sales of its Class A common stock.
The move comes after the company said last week that it had a $17.44 billion unrealized loss in the fourth quarter tied to the decline in the value of its cryptocurrency stockpile. The company adopted accounting standards that required it to include the fair value of its Bitcoin holdings in its earnings, triggering multibillion-dollar swings between profits and losses. Bitcoin fell 24% in the three-months ended Dec. 31, the largest drop since the second quarter of 2022.
