MicroStrategy Increases Bitcoin Holdings to 450,000 BTC with $243 Million Purchase, Continuing Long-Term Investment Strategy under CEO Michael Saylor

MicroStrategy has made another large purchase of Bitcoin, spending $243 million to acquire 2,530 BTC.

The average price at which the Bitcoin was purchased is $95,972. MicroStrategy now holds 450,000 BTC, which cost it $28.2 billion as of January 12, 2025. This means that the average price of the Bitcoin it holds is $62,691. So far this year, its Bitcoin yield is just 0.32%.

Previously, on January 6, 2025, MicroStrategy had purchased 1,070 BTC for $101 million, bringing the total to date. The average price of Bitcoin was $94,004.

This is part of the company’s continuing plan to build its Bitcoin reserves. These large purchases demonstrate MicroStrategy’s commitment to Bitcoin as a long-term investment.

MicroStrategy Leads the Charge with $18 Billion Bitcoin Investment

MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor has been a passionate proponent of Bitcoin, also proposing a bold vision for digital assets in the U.S.

Reserves of Bitcoin should be created by the U.S. government, says Saylor, and this could generate anywhere from $16 trillion to $81 trillion in wealth for the U.S. Treasury, he suggests. Furthermore, he believes that Bitcoin can help to reduce the national debt. Savor thinks Bitcoin could be a game-changer for the U.S. economy.

In the past ten weeks, MicroStrategy has spent more than $18 billion to acquire Bitcoin. The company is valued at $81B, which exceeds its Bitcoin net asset value. Investors must be very confident in the company’s strategy for it to pay such a high premium. They believe in the long-term value of Bitcoin.

Overall, MicroStrategy is carving out a unique niche in Bitcoin. However, the company continues to purchase large amounts of the cryptocurrency, which it sees as part of the future.

If Michael Saylor’s vision for the Bitcoin world is realized, it could drastically alter the U.S.’s approach to financial policy. Bitcoin may play a leading role in the future of global finance if it gains favor. These investments position MicroStrategy among the leaders in the digital asset space. Only time will tell if the strategy will pay off in the long run.
