Since making its initial $250-million Bitcoin investment in August 2020, MicroStrategy has gone on to purchase more than $3.7 billion in BTC in separate buys using the company’s cash on hand in addition to sales of convertible senior notes in private offerings to institutional buyers. Though there are cases in which the business intelligence firm bought the dip, some buys followed the price surges in early 2021 when the BTC price was more than $50,000.
