  • MicroStrategy purchased 11,000 BTC for $1.1B at $101,191 per coin.
  • Total holdings now 461,000 BTC, valued at $48 billion.
  • Funded through a $1.1B stock sale, MicroStrategy shows strong Bitcoin confidence.

MicroStrategy has announced another large Bitcoin purchase. The company acquired 11,000 BTC between January 13 and 20, spending approximately $1.1 billion.

This marks MicroStrategy’s eleventh consecutive week of Bitcoin acquisitions. This further solidifies its position as one of the largest institutional holders of the cryptocurrency.

The latest purchase was executed at an average price of $101,191 per Bitcoin, according to a Tuesday SEC filing.

This acquisition brings MicroStrategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to 461,000 BTC, now valued at approximately $48 billion at current market prices.

In the SEC filing, MicroStrategy said it still has $5.4bn of shares remaining under the current agreement as of January 20.

This comes after Saylor dropped a hint on Sunday about the company’s plans to buy more Bitcoin.

The company strategy is consistent with the goal of raising $42 billion to continue buying and be the most significant Bitcoin investor.

MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Investment Crosses $48 Billion

MicroStrategy has 461,000 Bitcoin after the latest purchase which has been confirmed.

The company has acquired bitcoin worth around $29 billion since it started its investment with an average cost of one bitcoin at $63,610.

At today’s Bitcoin price, the holdings are worth 48 billion dollars which is a huge improvement from their initial investment.

MicroStrategy has been investing in bitcoin and holding, as the company has maintained its belief in the potential of bitcoin as an asset for the long-term and against inflation.

According to the company’s last filing, the Bitcoin yield for the year 2025 currently stands at 1.69% which is an indication that the company is still reaping good returns from its investment despite market fluctuations.

Raising Capital Through Stock Sales

MicroStrategy has been able to fund its Bitcoin purchases through stock sales in a very calculated manner.

The company has just completed a new stock offering which raised $1.1 billion allowing for the purchase of 11,000 BTC.

Another measure, which will be put to the vote of MicroStrategy shareholders as a part of the company’s overall plan, is the proposal to increase the number of authorized shares.

The proposal will also seek to authorize an increase in the number of Class A common stock from 330 million to 10.3 billion and preferred stock from 5 million to 1 billion.

Michael Saylor who has 46% of the voting power by virtue of the Class B shares is expected to pass the proposal.

The company has set a “21/21” plan to buy 208,780 BTC which will account for half of its total purchases.

Thus, MicroStrategy has accomplished half of its mission to become one of the key market participants in the sphere of cryptocurrencies.

Michael Saylor’s Vision for Bitcoin

Michael Saylor has been one of the most vocal proponents of why Bitcoin is an excellent store of value.

He understands that it can be used as an inflation hedge and has put his money where his mouth is by steering MicroStrategy’s ongoing Bitcoin purchase plan.

This unrelenting endorsement of Bitcoin has made MicroStrategy the pioneer of institutions in embracing the world of cryptocurrencies.

Keeping to its “buy and hold” strategy, the company has always showcased its confidence in Bitcoin’s future value.
