MicroStrategy currently holds ~132,500 bitcoin ($2.2 billion market value at the time of publication) acquired for ~$4.03 billions with an average price of ~$30,397 per bitcoin.
According to a new filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, MicroStrategy said that it bought 2,395 BTC at an average price of $17,181 for a total of $42.8 million from Nov. 1 to Dec. 21. Then, the company sold 704 BTC at $16,776 per coin for a total of $11.8 million on Dec. 22. Just two days after, Microstrategy acquired approximately 810 BTC for $13.6 million in cash, at an average price of $16,845 per coin
In an interview, Michael Saylor at the beginning of the year told: “We’re only acquiring and holding Bitcoin, right? That’s our strategy. We’re not sellers.” The Dec. 28 filing represents the first publicly reported sale.
In supporting the decision, the company wrote: “MicroStrategy plans to carry back the capital losses resulting from this transaction against previous capital gains, to the extent such carrybacks are available under the federal income tax laws currently in effect, which may generate a tax benefit.”
