<p class="is-style-lead">As Bitcoin usurped silver as the eighth most valuable asset, Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy filled its digital coffers with more cryptocurrency.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Virginia-based enterprise software firm MicroStrategy scooped an additional $821.7 million worth of Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BTC</a>) following its convertible notes <a href="https://crypto.news/bitcoin-etf-michael-saylor-microstrategy/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">offering</a> to stack more of the world’s leading crypto.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>MicroStrategy <a href="https://www.microstrategy.com/press/microstrategy-acquires-additional-12000-btc-and-now-holds-205000-btc_03-11-2024" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">acquired</a> 12,000 BTC from its debt security sale proceeds and excess cash. The company founded by Bitcoin maxi Michael Saylor bought its latest stash at an average price of $68,477 per BTC, reaffirming Saylor’s promise always to buy the top.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>The Tysons Corner, Va.-based giant has now spent nearly $7 billion on the digital asset and holds some 205,000 BTC worth over a staggering $14.8 billion, as the cryptocurrency traded at an all-time high (ATH) on March 11. MicroStrategy has momentarily inched ahead of spot BTC ETF issuer <a href="https://crypto.news/blackrocks-bitcoin-etf-hits-10b-amidst-crypto-rally/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BlackRock</a> as one of the largest corporate BTC holders.</p> 
<p>Per CoinMarketCap, BTC was up more than 4% in 24 hours and sold for more than $72,000 for the first time in its 15-year history. The leap also propelled BTC’s market cap to over $1.4 trillion, a landmark moment for crypto’s king token.&nbsp;</p>
