The company stated that the 250 BTC were purchased at an average price of $86,194 per bitcoin, inclusive of fees and expenses. Of the $21.5 million aggregate purchase price, $21.0 million was funded using net proceeds from sales of MSTR Class A Common Stock under the company’s at-the-market offering program, and $0.5 million was funded using USD Cash.
