MicroStrategy’s Recent Bitcoin Purchases

In October, MicroStrategy bought 155 more Bitcoins for $53 million, according to Saylor. This adds to the company’s stash, which now totals 158,400 Bitcoin. Between August 1st and September 24th, MicroStrategy had already purchased 5,445 Bitcoins for $147.3 million at an average price of $27,053 per coin.

Bitcoin’s Price Performance in October

Bitcoin’s price rocketed higher in October, fueled by excitement around a potential Bitcoin spot ETF approval. The price of Bitcoin reached nearly $35,000, providing quick gains for MicroStrategy’s recently acquired coins.

MicroStrategy’s Q3 Earnings Results

While MicroStrategy’s revenue rose 33% to $130 million in Q3, it posted a net loss of $143.4 million for the quarter. This loss was attributed to impairment charges on its Bitcoin holdings due to tax valuation adjustments.

MicroStrategy Remains Committed to Bitcoin

Despite the Q3 loss, MicroStrategy says its commitment to buying and holding Bitcoin remains strong, especially with growing institutional adoption. The company has added over 6,000 Bitcoins to its corporate treasury so far in Q3, at an average price of $27,531 per coin.

Conclusion

MicroStrategy continues to buy Bitcoin at a rapid pace, even as it posts losses related to its existing Bitcoin holdings. The company remains dedicated to its Bitcoin acquisition strategy, betting that further institutional adoption could lead to additional price appreciation.
