According to a statement from company officials, the purchase was completed in the last week of December at an average unit price of $88,568. Following this latest investment, the total amount of Bitcoin held by Strategy rose to 672,497 BTC. With this, the firm has further strengthened its position in the field of digital asset reserves.
The company stated that the $109 million in proceeds used for the purchase was generated through the sale of 663,450 shares of Class A common stock during the week of December 28. No preferred securities were sold during this process; however, executives emphasized that the capacity needed for potential future issuances has been maintained.
Fluctuations in the Bitcoin market have been observed to reflect on Strategy's performance on the stock exchange. According to market analyses, the company's shares showed a decline before the first trading day of the week, with the value loss since the beginning of the year reaching up to 45 percent. Experts point out that the volatility in Bitcoin prices continues to be a pressure factor on the company's shares.
