MicroStrategy Buys 11,000 Bitcoin, Total Holdings Reach 461,000 BTC

by Murtuza J Merchant Benzinga Staff Writer

Business analytics firm MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:MSTR) on Tuesday announced it has expanded its Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) holdings by purchasing an additional 11,000 BTC for approximately $1.1 billion, averaging $101,191 per coin.

This acquisition brings the company’s total Bitcoin assets to 461,000 BTC, acquired at an aggregate cost of $29.3 billion, with an average purchase price of $63,610 per Bitcoin.

The company’s consistent Bitcoin acquisitions have positioned it as one of the largest corporate holders of the cryptocurrency.

MicroStrategy has funded its Bitcoin purchases using a combination of at-the-market stock sales and convertible debt issuances, seeking to raise $42 billion in capital through these methods by 2027.

Its approach has influenced other publicly traded companies to consider Bitcoin investments.

Notably, Marathon Digital Holdings (NASDAQ:MARA) holds approximately 26,842 BTC, and Coinbase Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) possess around 9,000 BTC.

Similar to Marathon, Hut 8 Mining Corp. (NASDAQ:HUT) is another publicly traded Bitcoin miner that holds Bitcoin as part of their treasury management. 

Electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla made a significant purchase of $1.5 billion in Bitcoin in early 2021.

Block Inc., formerly Square, led by Jack Dorsey, holds around $235 million in Bitcoin on its balance sheet.

On Tuesday, MicroStrategy shareholders will vote on a proposal to increase authorized Class A common stock from 330 million to 10.3 billion shares and authorized preferred stock from 5 million to 1 billion shares.

With Michael Saylor holding approximately 47% of voting power, the proposed amendments are likely to be approved.

As of now, MicroStrategy has $5.42 billion remaining under its equity offerings plan.

Expanding share sales would enable the company to further support its ongoing strategy of purchasing additional Bitcoin.
