Michael Saylor Doubles Down: MicroStrategy Scoops Up Another $2B in Bitcoin After $1.25B Bet
MicroStrategy just loaded the cannon again.
The business intelligence firm—now effectively a publicly-traded Bitcoin proxy—has executed another massive treasury purchase, adding billions more to its already colossal crypto hoard. This latest move follows its previous billion-dollar splurge, signaling a relentless, almost algorithmic conviction in the digital asset's long-term value proposition.
The Strategy Is The Strategy
Forget hedging. Saylor's playbook reads like a single-page manifesto: acquire and hold Bitcoin. Full stop. The company continues to bypass traditional corporate treasury management—think bonds or cash reserves—in favor of what it views as a superior store of value. It's a high-stakes bet that's turning quarterly earnings calls into de facto Bitcoin investment seminars.
What The Numbers Say
The figures are staggering. A fresh $2 billion deployment hot on the heels of a $1.25 billion purchase doesn't just show confidence—it screams strategic obsession. This isn't dipping a toe in the water; it's building a fortress in the digital asset space, brick by cryptographic brick. The balance sheet is being permanently reconfigured in real-time.
The Ripple Effect
Watch the institutional dominoes. Every announcement like this pressures other corporate treasurers to at least run the numbers—if not follow suit. It legitimizes the asset class for boardrooms that still view crypto with skepticism, proving a multi-billion dollar NASDAQ-listed entity can make it a core holding. Of course, it also ties the company's fate inextricably to Bitcoin's volatility, a fact not lost on more cynical Wall Street analysts who see it less as innovation and more as a desperate hunt for yield in a zero-interest-rate world.
Love it or hate it, Saylor's not bluffing. While traditional finance grapples with inflation and bond yields, one CEO is betting his entire company on a digital alternative. The market watches, waits, and wonders who's next.
Strategy hits 700k Bitcoin mark using MSTR stock
This massive buy has pushed the company to a new threshold. Strategy now holds 709,715 BTC, acquired for $53.92 billion at an average price of $75,979 per Bitcoin, making it the first company to achieve this and the largest Bitcoin treasury company.
Given BTC’s price today of $91,000, the stash is now worth $64.6 billion. Consequently, Strategy sits on a paper gain of over $10 billion as of press time. With the latest acquisition, Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings have grown by more than 22,000 BTC in a single week, cementing its position as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin globally.
Strategy used MSTR, STRC, and STRK shares to finance this most recent transaction. According to the filing made by the SEC, Strategy generated a net total of approximately $2.125 billion for this period through both equity offerings and preferred stock sales.
The majority of capital was generated from the sale of STRC variable-rate preferred shares and MSTR Class A common stock. Strategy sold 2.95 million STRC shares for $294.3 million in net proceeds and issued 10.4 million MSTR shares, generating $1.83 billion.
Smaller amounts were raised through STRK preferred stock sales, while no issuance occurred under STRF or STRD during the period. The company confirmed that proceeds from the ATM program were used directly to fund Bitcoin purchases. The firm still has more than $8.4 billion of MSTR stock and billions in preferred securities available for future issuance under its ATM programs.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin has pulled back from its year-to-date (YTD) highs above $97,000 to as low as $91,204 today. This price decline has come amid the latest threat of TRUMP tariffs, with the US planning to impose tariffs on France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, Finland, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, starting February 1. The court has set today as an opinion day and could decide on the tariffs case.
MSTR stock decines 5%
Strategy’s stock didn’t enjoy its usual post-purchase bump. The MSTR stock has declined almost 5% from last week’s close of $173. The crypto stock is trading around $165 in premarket.
However, the stock is still up over 12% YTD, marking a huge positive for the stock, which ended 2025 in a loss. Analysts predict that Strategy stock could rally above $200 in the NEAR term.
Meanwhile, institutions also continue to accumulate MSTR shares, with Vanguard Group’s Value Index Fund disclosing a $200 million purchase, and VanEck recently revealed that it is a top holder.
Based on their current level, overall holdings are in excess of 3% of Bitcoin’s total circulation supply in existence. It is pertinent to note that the average acquisition cost per recent purchase exceeds Strategy’s historical cost basis. Management has consistently indicated unabashed focus on long-term strategy and is less concerned about price sensitivities.
