The world’s largest corporate holder of Bitcoin spent just over $1.1 billion for its 18,300 BTC purchase at an average price of $60,408 per one. 
According to data until September 12, the firm now holds 244,800 BTC, which it acquired for $9.45 billion. This means that the company now stands at an unrealized profit of nearly $5 billion. This is because its average acquisition price stands at $38,585 per bitcoin. 
Recall that MicroStrategy began its BTC accumulation strategy just over four years ago – back in August 2020. The firm hasn’t looked back since, with frequent new purchases. 
Saylor, who stepped down as the company’s CEO a few years ago, has previously <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/michael-saylor-says-he-will-buy-bitcoin-forever-heres-why/" data-wpel-link="internal">asserted</a> that he will “buy Bitcoin forever.” He has become among the most prominent BTC bulls, <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/michael-saylor-predicts-bitcoin-will-reach-13-million-per-coin/" data-wpel-link="internal">predicting</a> massive price tags for the asset of up to $13 million per one.
