MicroStrategy Expands Bitcoin Holdings to 471,100 BTC Worth $46 Billion

Share:

MicroStrategy has once again solidified its position as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, announcing the acquisition of an additional 10,100 BTC for $1.1 billion. The latest purchase, made at an average price of $105,596 per Bitcoin, occurred just before a market correction saw Bitcoin's price dip 6% below $100,000.

This purchase comes on the heels of the firm’s acquisition of 11,000 BTC just days earlier, which brought its total holdings to 461,000 BTC at an average cost of $63,610 per Bitcoin. With the latest transaction, MicroStrategy now holds an estimated 471,100 BTC, valued at approximately $46 billion based on current market prices.

Funding the Bitcoin Stash

MicroStrategy financed these recent acquisitions through stock sales. The company successfully generated $1.1 billion by leveraging its shareholder-approved increase in authorized Class A common shares, expanding from 330 million to an unprecedented 10.3 billion shares. This decision, reported by Bloomberg, underscores the company’s aggressive commitment to its Bitcoin-focused treasury strategy.

A Bold Vision for Bitcoin

Michael Saylor, MicroStrategy’s co-founder and outspoken Bitcoin advocate, teased the latest purchase on social media, reiterating the firm’s unwavering dedication to Bitcoin as a treasury asset. This move aligns with the broader narrative of Bitcoin adoption in the U.S., where recent developments, including President Trump’s call for a national ‘digital asset stockpile,’ have fueled interest in Bitcoin’s role as a strategic reserve asset.

A Remarkable Streak

This latest purchase extends MicroStrategy’s buying streak to 12 consecutive weeks, cementing the company’s reputation as a relentless accumulator of Bitcoin. Despite market volatility and skepticism from traditional investors, MicroStrategy’s strategy has been clear: to double down on Bitcoin, positioning it as the centerpiece of its corporate treasury.

MicroStrategy's continued accumulation reflects not only the company’s confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value but also a potential paradigm shift in corporate treasury management as more firms begin to explore Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty.
