In a significant development in the cryptocurrency market, MicroStrategy has increased its Bitcoin holdings to 205,000 BTC, making it the largest corporate holder of the digital currency, surpassing even the holdings of BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT), which has accumulated nearly 198,000 Bitcoin since its inception. This milestone was achieved through MicroStrategy's recent purchase of 12,000 Bitcoin for approximately $821.7 million, funded by an $800 million offering of convertible notes. The firm's aggressive acquisition strategy has paid off, with its Bitcoin investments now valued at nearly $15 billion, reflecting a substantial profit. This move has not only solidified MicroStrategy's position in the cryptocurrency space but has also influenced the market, with Bitcoin's price surging to $72,000 following the acquisition.
