MicroStrategy has once again expanded its Bitcoin holdings, acquiring an additional 27,200 BTC. This recent purchase brings the firm’s total Bitcoin holdings to 279,000 BTC, now valued at over $20 billion following Bitcoin’s price rally beyond $80,000.
The company’s aggressive acquisition strategy, led by executive chairman Michael Saylor, continues to reinforce its position as the leading corporate Bitcoin holder.
MicroStrategy’s Expansive Bitcoin Acquisition Strategy
With this recent acquisition, MicroStrategy has amassed 279,000 BTC at a total dollar-cost average of approximately $39,292 per Bitcoin, according to BitcoinTreasuries. This puts the current market value of its holdings at around $20.5 billion, more than doubling the firm’s investment and yielding a return of over 104%.
The company has consistently purchased Bitcoin over the past few years, conducting 42 acquisitions to date as part of a strategy to secure a substantial digital asset reserve.
This approach aligns with MicroStrategy’s long-term financial vision, including its ambitious “21/21” plan, which aims to raise $42 billion over three years—split evenly between equity and fixed-income securities—to fund further Bitcoin purchases.
Global Repercussions for Other Bitcoin-Holding Entities
The recent Bitcoin surge has similarly benefited other major holders, such as the Kingdom of Bhutan and El Salvador.
Bhutan has gradually acquired over $1 billion in Bitcoin, representing approximately 32% of its GDP, according to Arkham Intelligence. The country is also investing in a national-scale Bitcoin mining operation, positioning Bitcoin as a strategic economic asset in its portfolio.
El Salvador, which adopted Bitcoin as legal tender in 2021, holds 5,930 BTC, now worth over $482 million.
The Central American nation has achieved an 80% profit on its investment, translating to $214 million in unrealized gains. Under President Nayib Bukele’s dollar-cost-averaging approach, El Salvador continues to purchase one Bitcoin daily while also investing in renewable-energy-powered Bitcoin mining, funded partly by its passport program revenue. With this investment, the country’s overall Bitcoin profit has now surpassed $100 million.
