The latest acquisition, announced by co-founder and former CEO Michael Saylor, saw the accumulation of 20,356 BTC at an average price of $97,514. The largest corporate bitcoin holder now owns 499,096 BTC, acquired for $33.1 billion.

Given the cryptocurrency’s current value, Strategy’s holdings are now valued at $47.4 billion, putting the company in a $14 billion paper gain situation.

This purchase was announced shortly after the company said it had raised $2 billion by offering convertible notes at 0% coupon and 35% premium, with an implied MSTR strike price of $433.43.

Alongside the crypto market, the firm’s shares have been in a nosedive state, losing over 12% in the past five days. They are down by 16.5% since this time last month but up by 105% on a 6-month scale and now trade inches below $300.

BTC’s price also struggles to gain any traction. It dropped below $96,000 earlier today and is now close to breaking beneath $95,000 for the first time since last week’s crash.
