Last week, MicroStrategy announced that it acquired 15,350 BTC for $1.5 billion. The software company continues to increase its Bitcoin holdings despite the flagship crypto’s tepid price action.

Meanwhile, this recent purchase comes amid the company’s Nasdaq-100 listing, which is set to take place today. This achievement has been partly thanks to the company’s Bitcoin exposure, which has worked out greatly so far.
