Strategy's average cost of acquiring Bitcoin stands at approximately $75,537, with a reported increase of about 7.6% in its BTC investment. Michael Saylor, co-founder of Strategy, announced plans to recommence Bitcoin purchases this week following a recent earnings call. During this call, held on Tuesday, Saylor indicated the potential for periodic sales of the company’s Bitcoin holdings, a shift from its previous policy of never selling.
In the latest transaction on April 27, the company acquired 3,273 Bitcoins for around $255 million, bringing its total Bitcoin holdings to 818,334 coins, valued at approximately $61.8 billion as of the publication date. This pause in purchasing lasted one week prior to the earnings call, where Saylor suggested that selling some Bitcoin could help fund dividends for holders of credit instruments.
The announcement sparked mixed responses within the cryptocurrency community. While some investors believe that these sales could bolster the company’s treasury, providing resources for future Bitcoin acquisitions, others express concern that this strategy may exert downward pressure on Bitcoin's market value.
