This marks the fifth consecutive week that MicroStrategy has expanded its Bitcoin portfolio. Previously, the company spent $1.5 billion to acquire 15,400 BTC at an average price of $95,976 per coin.

According to filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the funds for this purchase came from issuing 5.4 million shares. The company retains the capacity to raise over $9 billion more through stock sales as part of its $42 billion capital-raising plan over three years. This plan is evenly split between $21 billion from equity issuance and $21 billion from fixed-income securities.

Michael Saylor, the company’s co-founder and chairman, stated that the average purchase price for its entire Bitcoin holdings is $60,324 per BTC, with a total cost of approximately $25.6 billion, including transaction fees. As of December 9, the company’s Bitcoin yield—a metric measuring the percentage change in Bitcoin holdings relative to diluted shares—has risen by 68.7% since the start of the year.
