MicroStrategy Founder, Michael Saylor, said in a tweet that the company acquired additional bitcoin at an average price of $19,851. With the latest move, MicroStrategy now holds about 130,000 bitcoins acquired for a total sum of $3.98 billion at an average price of $30,639 per BTC.
The deal comes amid accusations of District of Columbia Attorney, General Karl Racine, who had earlier filed civil charges against MicroStrategy and its founder Michael Saylor for violating tax fraud. Racine took to Twitter to emphasize that Saylor has lived in the District "for more than a decade but has never paid any DC income taxes."
