Macrostrategy obtained a $205 million BTC-backed loan from Silvergate Bank last month in order to purchase more bitcoin.
The company’s latest BTC purchase before Tuesday was in February when it bought 660 bitcoins.
Saylor has long been bullish about BTC. He said during his company’s Q1 earnings call: “I see evidence of a lot more institutional adoption, greater adoption amongst macro and other hedge funds … We look forward to the next wave of institutional adoption that, I think, should be driven as people get more educated and more aware of what digital property is.”
