This BTC was acquired at an average price of $65,883 per coin. MicroStrategy is now the largest holder of corporate cryptocurrencies by a wide margin.
This mega Bitcoin purchase was made possible by the company recently raising $800 million in debt using convertible senior notes sold to investors. The initial goal was to raise $500 million to purchase more BTC and use the rest of the funds for operating expenses.
However, later, the target was expanded from $500 million to $800 million.
