Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy, a prominent holder of Bitcoin, has announced its 101st Bitcoin acquisition, increasing its total holdings to over 720,000 BTC.
The company purchased 3,015 Bitcoin (BTC) for $204.1 million in the past week, as detailed in a recent U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing. The average price for this latest acquisition was $67,700 per BTC, a figure below the company’s average acquisition cost of $75,985.
With this new purchase, MicroStrategy’s total Bitcoin holdings now stand at 720,737 BTC, acquired at an aggregate cost of approximately $54.8 billion.
This recent purchase marks one of a few instances where MicroStrategy has acquired Bitcoin at a price lower than its average cost basis. Data from SaylorTracker, a platform monitoring MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin purchases, indicates that the first such occurrence was on February 9, when the company bought 1,142 BTC at an average price of $78,815, while market prices were below $76,051.
A similar situation arose between 2022 and 2023, when Bitcoin’s price fell below MicroStrategy’s cost basis of around $30,600. During that period, the company made seven purchases totaling 28,560 BTC.
MicroStrategy (MSTR) shares experienced a modest increase last week, moving from approximately $125 to nearly $130. In contrast, Bitcoin’s price remained relatively stable over the same timeframe. Bitcoin began the week near $65,000, briefly surpassed $69,000 mid-week, and then settled around $65,834 at the time of reporting.
This news follows an announcement from MicroStrategy chairman Michael Saylor regarding an increase in the dividend for its STRC preferred stock, also known as “Stretch.” The dividend will rise to 11.50% for March 2026, up from the previous 11.25%. Capital generated from this stock can be utilized for corporate objectives, including potential future Bitcoin acquisitions.
