Given the fact that Monday was an official holiday in the US (MLK Day), Strategy\u2019s Michael Saylor had to wait until today to announce his company\u2019s latest BTC purchase.<\/p>\n
In it, the world\u2019s largest corporate holder of the digital asset said it accumulated another 22,305 BTC for just over $2.1 billion. The average price of the acquisition was $95,284, and puts the firm\u2019s total holdings at a whopping 709,715 BTC.<\/p>\n
This substantial fortune was accumulated over the past half a decade at an average price of almost $76,000 per unit, as Strategy has spent nearly $54 billion to acquire it. Given BTC\u2019s price today of $91,000, the stash is now worth $64.6 billion. Consequently, Strategy sits on a paper gain of over $10 billion as of press time.<\/p>\n

Its timing is rather intriguing given the developments that have unfolded in the past few days between the country where Strategy is situated, and its claimed biggest ally \u2013 the European Union.<\/p>\n The two sides have fought over Greenland, which is legally under Denmark\u2019s control. However, Trump wants to purchase the world\u2019s biggest island for \u201cnational security purposes.\u201d<\/p>\n The escalating tension<\/a> between the two led to Trump imposing new tariffs and resulted in further price declines in the crypto markets.
