December 16 saw Michael Saylor announce yet another BTC acquisition for MicroStrategy. Six weeks of consistent buying seem to validate Schiff’s pointed critiques.
MicroStrategy has reportedly acquired an additional 15,350 BTC for around $1.5 billion, with an average purchase price of ~$100,386 per coin. As of December 15, the company’s total Bitcoin reserves reached 439,000 BTC, bought at an average price of approximately $61,725.
Michael Saylor stated that the company’s returns have been impressive, with a 46.4% gain since the start of the quarter and a 72.4% increase year-to-date.
