The company now holds 717,722 bitcoin acquired for $54.56 billion, or an average price of $76,020 per coin. With bitcoin currently trading just above $66,000, the position represents an unrealized loss of roughly $10,000 per coin, or about $7 billion in total.

This morning's news is a milestone of sorts. According to a cheeky X post by Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, it was Strategy's 100th announcement of a bitcoin purchase since the company (then named MicroStrategy) began acquiring BTC in August 2020.

MSTR shares are down 2.5% in pre-market action and more than 50% year-over-year.
