MicroStrategy buys $243m Bitcoin, ups holdings to 450k coins

As a researcher, I find myself noting that for the tenth successive week, MicroStrategy, a software firm from the dot-com era, has added to its Bitcoin holdings. This consistent purchase underscores its status as the leading corporate entity in terms of Bitcoin ownership on a global scale.

According to executive chairman Michael Saylor’s report, MicroStrategy has just purchased 2,530 more Bitcoins at a cost of around $243 million.

As a committed crypto investor, I’ve just made another weekly purchase, marking my tenth consecutive buy. This consistent buying pattern suggests that Saylor is sticking with its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy, a far cry from the skepticism it once held towards cryptocurrencies. Last year, in a surprising turn of events, Saylor transformed into a Bitcoin evangelist by announcing its “21/21” plan to amass $42 billion worth of BTC over the next three years.

Saylor’s strategic approach, frequently known as the “endless money loophole,” entails selling company shares — specifically MSTR — to acquire Bitcoins. Various U.S. companies, such as Marathon Holdings, and international entities like Metaplanet, have implemented this tactic to build their own corporate Bitcoin reserves.

In simpler terms, it’s anticipated that more businesses traditionally skeptical about Bitcoin will incorporate it into their financial holdings by 2025, as the rate of corporate adoption is expected to speed up significantly.

Since the year 2020, MicroStrategy has invested approximately $28.2 billion in Bitcoin. As the largest private owner of Bitcoin, they currently possess around 450,000 tokens, which were bought at an average cost of about $62,691 per token. At this moment, the worth of Saylor’s Bitcoin holdings surpasses $41 billion, with each Bitcoin trading at roughly $91,600 (a 3.2% decrease over the past 24 hours).

MicroStrategy has bought 2,530 Bitcoins for approximately $243 million, which equals about $95,972 per Bitcoin. This purchase has given them a Year-to-Date (YTD) 2025 Bitcoin Yield of 0.32%. As of January 12, 2025, they hold around 450,000 Bitcoins that were acquired for approximately $28.2 billion, with each Bitcoin costing roughly $62,691. In simple terms, MicroStrategy has purchased a significant amount of Bitcoin over time, with the latest acquisition being about 2,530 units and the current holdings totaling around 450,000 units.
