The former CEO claimed that 6,455 bitcoins were purchased by the company for $150 million (or an average of $23,238 per coin) as of March 23rd. According to Saylor, MicroStrategy now owns 138,955 BTC after spending $4.14 billion, or an average of $29,817 per coin, on the purchase.
MicroStrategy also announced that it has raised $339.4 million through an at-the-market share sale program this year, with the proceeds of which it has repaid its entire outstanding loan balance.
Final thoughts
Bitcoin is trading at $27,400 at the time of this writing. It remains to be seen if MicroStrategy’s continuous investment strategy in the largest digital asset, Bitcoin, will pay off in the long run as the company continues to increase its Bitcoin holdings. But to conclude, no, MicroStrategy is still not in profit.

Their average purchase entry is almost $30,000 and Bitcoin is currently at $27,400. MicroStrategy is less than 9% in loss on their investment. This is still better than at the end of 2022 when everyone was proclaiming the end of digital gold.
