MicroStrategy's $1.1B Bitcoin Buy
MicroStrategy Adds Another $1.1 Billion in Bitcoin
MicroStrategy announced another significant Bitcoin purchase, acquiring 10,107 BTC for approximately $1.1 billion. This follows a similar purchase just six days prior, highlighting the company's continued commitment to Bitcoin as a core asset.
The purchase brings MicroStrategy's total Bitcoin holdings to 471,107 BTC, solidifying its position as one of the world's largest Bitcoin holders. Funding for this acquisition came from the proceeds of a recent stock sale.
Saylor's Continued Bitcoin Accumulation
MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor announced the purchase on social media, marking the company's fourth Bitcoin acquisition in January 2025 alone. This demonstrates a consistent strategy of accumulating Bitcoin despite market fluctuations.
"MicroStrategy has acquired 10,107 BTC for ~$1.1 billion at ~$105,596 per bitcoin and has achieved a BTC Yield of 2.90% YTD 2025. As of 1/26/2025, we hold 471,107 $BTC acquired for ~$30.4 billion at ~$64,511 per bitcoin," said Saylor.
SEC filings reveal the Bitcoin purchases occurred between January 21st and 26th, coinciding with the sale of 2,765,157 shares to raise the necessary capital.
MicroStrategy's aggressive Bitcoin buying continued a trend from December 2024, which included a $2.1 billion purchase and a subsequent $1.5 billion purchase. An earlier January purchase of $101 million briefly fueled speculation of a slowdown in acquisitions before this latest significant investment.
The recent purchases followed a new all-time high for Bitcoin above $108,000 on January 20th. MicroStrategy appears to be capitalizing on Bitcoin's continued strong performance.
MicroStrategy's Long-Term Bitcoin Strategy
Earlier in January, MicroStrategy explored raising $2 billion through a perpetual preferred stock offering to further fund Bitcoin acquisitions. This indicates a continued focus on Bitcoin as a central part of its investment strategy.
While the company's stock (MSTR) experienced a temporary dip of nearly 5% due to a broader market sell-off related to DeepSeek AI concerns, it remains up 14% for the month. The company's commitment to Bitcoin appears to remain unwavering.
MicroStrategy's future Bitcoin purchases will likely depend on the success of its stock offerings and market conditions. However, its current trajectory suggests continued expansion of its Bitcoin holdings.
