Over five years after it started purchasing BTC en masse, Michael Saylor’s business intelligence software company has now spent more than $50 billion on its Bitcoin reserve strategy.

The latest purchase was announced by the firm’s co-founder and former CEO, who informed that they had bought another 10,645 BTC for $980.3 million at an average price of $92,098 per unit.

Consequently, the company’s total stash has soared to 671,268 BTC, which was accumulated for $50.33 billion. Despite the cryptocurrency’s correction in the past several weeks, Strategy’s holdings are worth just over $60 billion, meaning that the firm’s unrealized profit stands at a healthy $10 billion.

In contrast to its consistently growing BTC stash, Strategy’s stock prices paint a different picture. MSTR has been on a substantial downfall since July this year, dropping from over $450 per share at the time to $176 as of Friday’s close.

MSTR is deep in the red on a YTD scale as well, losing more than 41% of its value since January 1 and it’s on track to close its worst performing year since adopting the Bitcoin reserve strategy.
