Strategy Announces New Buy Even As Crash Threatens Cost Basis: 855 Bitcoin Added
Strategy has announced a new Bitcoin purchase of 855 BTC for $75.3 million, despite the recent market crash threatening its cost basis. The acquisition, with an average price of $87,974 per BTC, occurred before the price drop, leaving the new coins at a loss. The company’s total holdings now stand at 713,502 BTC with an average cost of $76,052. Bitcoin’s recent decline below $75,000 briefly put the entire position underwater, though a slight recovery has since occurred. The purchase was funded through an ATM stock offering. Similarly, Bitmine, a major Ethereum holder, also bought 41,788 ETH during the pullback. Bitcoin is currently trading around $78,900, down 9.5% over the past week.
