The total investment by the company into Bitcoin now stands at a stunning $5.28 billion.
Alex DovbnyaThis strategic move follows MicroStrategy's previous purchase in October. Back then, the company acquired an additional 155 Bitcoins for a modest $5.3 million.
Michael Saylor, cofounder of MicroStrategy, recently predicted a significant price surge for Bitcoin in an interview with CNBC.
His bullish prediction is based on the upcoming "halving" event and potential approval of the first spot Bitcoin ETF, which he believes will increase demand and decrease supply.
