MicroStrategy Bolsters Bitcoin Holdings with Significant Investment

By: Eliza Bennet

In a notable development within the cryptocurrency sector, MicroStrategy has intensified its Bitcoin holdings by acquiring an additional 11,000 BTC, marking the company's largest purchase in 2025. The acquisition was disclosed in a regulatory filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on January 21. This substantial purchase furthers MicroStrategy's ambitious strategy of expanding its Bitcoin investment portfolio.

The company's recent acquisition follows a series of strategic buys that began earlier this month, with purchases of 1,070 BTC on January 6 and 2,530 BTC on January 13. These transactions effectively kickstarted a high-volume investment strategy put in motion since the beginning of the year. The latest 11,000 BTC purchase represents a substantial boost to the firm's cryptocurrency reserves.

Funding for this major acquisition was procured through the sale of over three million shares, generating approximately $1.1 billion between January 13 and January 20. Notably, MicroStrategy still possesses the capability to sell up to $5.4 billion worth of shares under its existing agreements, ensuring availability of resources for future cryptocurrency investments. Following this acquisition spree, MicroStrategy's total Bitcoin holdings have surged to an impressive 461,000 BTC, currently valued at approximately $48 billion at prevailing market prices.

MicroStrategy has committed around $29 billion to its Bitcoin strategy, resulting in an average acquisition cost of $63,610 per BTC. As the cryptocurrency market continues to fluctuate, the company currently holds an unrealized profit estimated at $19 billion. Despite the remarkable growth in its Bitcoin holdings, the price of MicroStrategy shares saw a slight decline of 0.9% in pre-market trading according to data from Yahoo Finance.
