In November, MicroStrategy purchased nearly $593.3 million in Bitcoin, the company\u2019s largest acquisition over three years.<\/p>\n<p>According to November filling, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/breaking-microstrategy-acquires-16130-btc-in-latest-bullish-move\/\">MicroStrategy added 16,130<\/a> BTC to its holdings at an average price of $36,785 per Bitcoin. The total amount of MicroStrategy\u2019s bitcoin holdings is now over $6.5 billion. MicroStrategy has now become the largest institution to accumulate Bitcoin leaving Marathon Digital Holdings behind which holds 13,286 BTC coins.<\/p>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.72.1 --><\/p>\n<p>As Bitcoin jumps above $41K, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/crypto-stocks\/MSTR\/\">MicroStrategy (MTSR) stock price<\/a> also rallied 8% with an increment of $40.
