MicroStrategy purchased an extra 3,000 for around $155 million, or an average price of $51,813 per Bitcoin, between February 15 and February 25, according to a file on Monday.

MicroStrategy’s founder and executive chairman, Michael Saylor, estimates that the company paid approximately $6.1 billion for its entire holdings, which were purchased at an average price of $31,544 per Bitcoin.
