This latest purchase coincides with a period of relatively sideways trading for Bitcoin, which has been hovering around $26,000 in recent weeks. After briefly touching $28,000 on August 29th, Bitcoin saw a dip to as low as $25,000 on September 11th.

MicroStrategy’s Ongoing Bullish Stance

In June 2023, the firm made headlines by purchasing 12,333 BTC for $347 million at an average price of $29,668 per coin. This strategic approach aligns with MicroStrategy’s belief in the long-term potential of Bitcoin as a store of value.

Financial Performance

In Q1 2023, MicroStrategy reported its first profitable quarter since 2020, thanks in part to a one-time income tax benefit. The company continued to maintain profitability in the subsequent quarter, revealing a net income of $22.2 million in early August.
