Business intelligence firm and corporate bitcoin holder MicroStrategy acquired an additional 51,780 BTC for approximately $4.6 billion at an average price of $88,627 per bitcoin between Nov. 11 and Nov. 17, according to an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday.

As of Nov. 17, the company said approximately $15.3 billion worth of shares remained available for sale as part of its planned $21 billion equity offering and $21 billion in fixed income securities, targeting a $42 billion capital raise over the next three years for further bitcoin acquisitions.

MicroStrategy uses a key performance indicator it calls “Bitcoin Yield” to measure the percentage change in its bitcoin holdings relative to its diluted shares.
