Jun 15, 2026

MicroStrategy bought another 1,587 Bitcoin for $100 million, increasing its total holdings to 846,842 BTC. The purchase was funded by a $209 million stock sale, with the surplus boosting its USD cash reserve to $1.1 billion. Despite the new coins being bought below its average cost, the company's massive Bitcoin treasury remains at an unrealized loss of about $8 billion.
