MicroStrategy has once again demonstrated its unwavering commitment to Bitcoin by making a $1.1 billion purchase just six days after a similar acquisition. This latest move brings the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to an extraordinary 471,107 BTC, reinforcing its position as one of the largest institutional holders of the cryptocurrency.
Founder Michael Saylor announced the acquisition on social media, highlighting the scale of the firm’s Bitcoin treasury. “MicroStrategy has acquired 10,107 BTC for ~$1.1 billion at ~$105,596 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 2.90% YTD 2025. As of 1/26/2025, we hold 471,107 $BTC acquired for ~$30.4 billion at ~$64,511 per bitcoin,” he shared. This marked the company’s fourth significant Bitcoin purchase in January alone.
The purchase was funded through a recent stock sale, with MicroStrategy raising $1.1 billion from the issuance of 2,765,157 shares. The company’s filing with the SEC revealed that the acquisition was completed between January 21 and January 26, showcasing its aggressive pace of Bitcoin accumulation.
This strategy follows a pattern of consistent, large-scale purchases by MicroStrategy over recent months. In December 2024, the company spent $2.1 billion on Bitcoin in the first half of the month and another $1.5 billion just a week later. January began with a smaller $101 million purchase, sparking speculation that the company might slow its buying spree. However, as Bitcoin reached a new all-time high above $108,000 on January 20, MicroStrategy resumed its large-scale acquisitions with renewed vigor.
MicroStrategy’s approach to funding its Bitcoin purchases is equally bold. At the start of the year, the company announced plans to raise $2 billion through a perpetual preferred stock offering. This move is designed to provide additional capital for Bitcoin acquisitions while offering investors the opportunity to earn regular dividends. The structure allows for flexibility, with funding options that include converting Class A common stock, issuing cash dividends, or redeeming shares.
Despite the firm’s bullish stance on Bitcoin, its stock price has experienced volatility. On the day of the latest acquisition, MicroStrategy’s stock (MSTR) fell nearly 5%, mirroring a broader market sell-off. However, MSTR remains up by 14% this month, reflecting investor confidence in its long-term strategy.
MicroStrategy’s commitment to Bitcoin shows no signs of waning. As the cryptocurrency continues to perform well, the company appears determined to capitalize on its momentum. Future acquisitions will likely depend on the success of its capital-raising efforts, but for now, MicroStrategy remains steadfast in its BTC-first strategy, setting a bold example for institutional involvement in the crypto market.
