Strategy bitcoin holdings rise to more than 499K tokens

What to know:

Strategy (MSTR) brought its bitcoin (BTC) holdings up to just a hair shy of half of million with its latest acquisition.

The company, led by Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, on Monday morning announced the purchase of 20,356 BTC for $1.99B, or an average price of $97,514 per token.

This comes after the last week's $2 billion 0% convertible note offering, which raised $1.99 billion after expenses.

MSTR's bitcoin stack now sits at 499,096 tokens acquired for $33.1 billion, or an average price of $66,357 each. At bitcoin's current price of $95,500, the holdings are worth about $47.7 billion.

MSTR shares are up marginally in premarket action after a Friday tumble that took the stock price below $300.

When adjusted for asset market capitalization SOL's relative futures volume looks better, K33 Research noted.

Ano ang dapat malaman:

  • Solana's SOL futures began trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) on Monday, with a notional daily volume of $12.3 million and $7.8 million in open interest, significantly lower than the debuts of bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) futures.
  • Despite the seemingly lackluster debut, when adjusted to market value, SOL's first-day figures are more in line with BTC's and ETH's, according to K33 Research.
  • Despite the bearish market conditions, the launch of CME SOL futures offers new ways for institutions to manage their exposure to the token, said Joshua Lim of FalconX.
