MicroStrategy, led by Michael Saylor, revealed that it recently acquired 5,200 BTC at an average price of US$106,662 per unit. Although this volume represents a significant boost to the company’s portfolio, the move signals a slowdown in the pace of Bitcoin purchases.
The cautious strategy reflects the macroeconomic scenario and market volatility, factors that the company has been closely monitoring.
MicroStrategy hits the brakes and reduces Bitcoin purchases
With this new acquisition, the total BTC held by MicroStrategy reaches an impressive 444,262 BTC. This amount, valued at more than US$27.7 billion, reinforces the company’s position as the largest holder of Bitcoin in the corporate world.
The weighted average purchase price is now close to $106,000 per unit, suggesting that the latest investments were aimed at consolidating the company’s position during the recent Bitcoin price rally.
The decision to reduce the volume of purchases may be linked to the search for greater liquidity and asset diversification in a still uncertain market. On the other hand, some analysts believe that MicroStrategy may experience a blackout in January. This would prevent the company from issuing more stocks and bonds to buy more Bitcoin.
In addition, the growing adoption of Bitcoin as a strategic asset by other large corporations may signal a new phase of maturity in the market.
Despite this, Michael Saylor remains firm in his long-term view of Bitcoin as a superior store of value.
“I’m definitely going to buy Bitcoin at $1 million per coin — probably $1 billion a day of Bitcoin at $1 million per coin,” Saylor said recently.
However, the company’s decision to maintain its focus on Bitcoin, albeit moderately, demonstrates its confidence in the asset’s long-term appreciation potential. The market is now watching to see how these strategies align with broader industry trends and the next stages of growth in the digital economy.
