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.
It represents the company's largest set of acquisitions to date and follows the sale of 13,593,865 MicroStrategy shares to fund the transactions. 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. As of Nov. 17, the firm’s year-to-date Bitcoin Yield is 41.8%, reflecting significant growth in holdings while balancing share dilution amid the company’s strategy of acquiring bitcoin efficiently to benefit shareholders.

"We've seen this pattern before!" Major short seller explains: Why short the AI newcomer CoreWeave
Seawolf Capital, founded by three traders who inspired "The Big Short," has established a short position on CoreWeave, citing concerns over high capital consumption, the uncertain economic lifespan of GPUs, and the expansion of competing chip supplies, which pose risks to CoreWeave’s business model. More critically, CoreWeave will require continuous financing of tens of billions of dollars in the future, and if financing costs rise or access to capital is hindered, its operations will become unsustainable. This short position is not a bet against the AI industry itself, but rather on CoreWeave’s ability to secure financing and manage capital costs.
