Business intelligence firm MicroStrategy has continued to add to its Bitcoin stash. In its most recent purchase, MicroStrategy has added another $15 million worth of Bitcoin to its holdings.
CEO Michael Saylor confirmed the purchase on Twitter. According to his tweet, MicroStrategy purchased 253 Bitcoins at an average price of $59,339 per coin.
Following its most recent buy, the financial software giant now holds 91,579 BTC. With the leading cryptocurrency trading at around $59,000, MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin stash is worth over $5.4 billion.
MicroStrategy has been on a buying spree since August 2020, when it first threw $250 million at Bitcoin.
