This marks seven consecutive weeks of Bitcoin acquisitions, costing approximately $561 million at an average price of $106,622 per coin. The purchase, hinted at by Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, increases the value of MicroStrategy's Bitcoin holdings to around $42.2 billion at current market prices, raising their average cost basis to $62,257 per BTC.
