At the time of writing, the price of bitcoin is $39,121.89 based on data from Bitcoin.com Markets. It is up almost 2% within the past 24 hours, 6.4% in the last 7 days, but down 18% over the past 30 days.

Microstrategy’s chief financial officer, Phong Le, said last week:

Our strategy with bitcoin has been to buy and hold, so to the extent we have excess cash flows or we find other ways to raise money, we continue to put it into bitcoin.

Last week, the SEC made public its letters to Microstrategy about the company’s accounting of bitcoin. “We object to your adjustment for bitcoin impairment charges in your non-GAAP measures,” the securities regulator wrote in a Dec. 3 letter. The SEC then told Microstrategy to revise the way it discloses its bitcoin holdings in future filings.
