MicroStrategy (MSTR), the software company known for its aggressive Bitcoin (BTC) acquisition strategy, has expanded its holdings for the seventh consecutive week. The company purchased 5,262 BTC for a total of $561 million during the week ending December 22, bringing its total Bitcoin reserves to 444,262 BTC.

Bitcoin Acquisition at an Average Price of $106,622

At current market prices, this acquisition raises the value of MicroStrategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to $42.2 billion. The purchase also increases the company’s average cost per Bitcoin to $62,257.

Funding Through ATM Program

The company financed this latest acquisition through sales under its at-the-market (ATM) program, which allows it to sell shares directly into the open market. With $7.08 billion remaining in the ATM program, MicroStrategy continues to fund its Bitcoin purchases through these equity offerings, enabling the company to capitalize on favorable market conditions.

The announcement comes on the same day that MicroStrategy officially joined the Nasdaq 100 equity index. Despite the news, the company’s stock price has remained largely unchanged in pre-market trading, hovering just above $364.2 per share.

This strategic focus on Bitcoin underscores belief in the long-term value of the cryptocurrency and highlights its position as a leading corporate Bitcoin holder.
