According to U.Today, Michael Saylor, the co-founder of business intelligence giant MicroStrategy and its current executive chairman, recently posted a tweet that has sparked interest within the Bitcoin community. Saylor shared an image of a cartoon-like creature consuming coins emblazoned with the Bitcoin symbol, accompanied by the caption 'New logo?'. This led to speculation among some Twitter users that this could be a new logo for MicroStrategy, given the company's ongoing large-scale Bitcoin acquisitions.
In related news, MicroStrategy has once again expanded its Bitcoin holdings. Earlier this week, Saylor announced that the company had purchased an additional 11,931 Bitcoin, spending approximately $786 million. This latest acquisition brings the company's total Bitcoin holdings to a staggering 226,331, valued at around $8.33 billion. The average purchase price for these coins was $65,883 each.
MicroStrategy is now the leading corporate holder of cryptocurrency by a significant margin. This latest Bitcoin purchase was facilitated by the company's recent fundraising efforts, which saw it raise $800 million in debt through the sale of convertible senior notes to investors. Initially, the company aimed to raise $500 million to purchase more Bitcoin and cover operational expenses. However, this target was later increased to $800 million.
