MicroStrategy has purchased another $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin by selling shares. This is the sixth consecutive week that the company has announced the purchase of Bitcoin. Data shows that the value of Bitcoin it currently owns has exceeded $45 billion, reaching $45.61 billion.
Last Friday, MicroStrategy announced that it would be included in the Nasdaq 100 Index on December 23. The decision to include the company in the Nasdaq 100 Index marks the institution's recognition of its controversial founder Michael Saylor. According to documents disclosed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Monday, from December 9 to December 15, MicroStrategy acquired 15,350 Bitcoins at an average price of approximately $100,386. As the company accelerates its purchase of Bitcoin, its stock price has risen by more than 500% this year. MicroStrategy aims to raise $42 billion in the next three years by selling shares and issuing convertible bonds on the market, and these funds will be used to buy more Bitcoin.
