The company's average purchase price stands at $30,200 per one coin.

It announced its precious Bitcoin purchase of $94.2 million on Dec. 30, but there were no announcements in January.

MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor also recently revealed that he personally holds 17,732 Bitcoins that are worth $685 million at the time of writing.

Bitcoin is currently trading at $38,669 after briefly climbing above $39,000 earlier today. Despite its recent modest recovery, the largest cryptocurrency is still down 44.02% from its lifetime peak of $69,044.

Saylor told Bloomberg last month that his company would never sell Bitcoin despite the significant price drawdown:

We're only acquiring and holding bitcoin, right? That's our strategy.

As reported by U.Today, the permabull predicted that the Bitcoin price could eventually reach an eye-watering $6 million.
