The latest addition brings MicroStrategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to 461,000 BTC, valued at $48 billion at current market prices. The company has invested approximately $29 billion in its Bitcoin holdings at an average price of $63,610.
The Tysons, Virginia-based firm funded the purchase through stock sales, according to a Tuesday SEC filing. MicroStrategy sold 3,012,072 shares between January 13 and 20, generating $1.1 billion in net proceeds. The company maintains $5.4 billion worth of shares available for sale under their sales agreement as of January 20.
The purchase follows a hint from MicroStrategy co-founder Michael Saylor about another Bitcoin acquisition last Sunday. It’s also part of the company’s goal to raise $42 billion to fund these purchases.
MicroStrategy reported its Bitcoin yield, which measures the amount of Bitcoin each share represents over time, has reached 1.69% year-to-date.
MicroStrategy shareholders will vote within hours on a proposal to drastically increase authorized shares: Class A common stock from 330 million to 10.3 billion, and preferred stock from 5 million to 1 billion.
The move aims to further the company’s “21/21” plan, under which it has already acquired 208,780 BTC (50% of its target). Given Michael Saylor’s 46% voting power through Class B shares, the vote is expected to pass.
