MicroStrategy Accumulates 2,530 More BTC, Crosses 450,000 Bitcoin Mark

• MicroStrategy’s purchase of 2,530 BTC, totaling 450,000 BTC, reflects its aggressive strategy to consolidate Bitcoin holdings, despite market risks and shareholder dilution concerns.
• Strategic funding through share sales and stock offerings supports continued Bitcoin accumulation, highlighting the firm’s unwavering confidence in its long-term potential.

By purchasing 2,530 BTC for $243 million at an average price of $95,972 each, MicroStrategy has once again solidified its status as the largest corporate Bitcoin holder. Following its holdings of 386,700 BTC in late 2024, as previously reported by CNF, the company has showcased its long-term commitment to Bitcoin as a strategic asset despite inherent risks.

This latest acquisition, part of the company’s ambitious ‘21/21 Plan,’ brings its total holdings to an impressive 450,000 BTC, accumulated at a cumulative cost of $28.2 billion. With Bitcoin trading at $91,472, these holdings are now valued at $41.3 billion, representing 2.13% of the total Bitcoin supply. In a recent post on X, Michael Saylor affirmed:

“MicroStrategy has acquired 2,530 BTC for ~$243 million at ~$95,972 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 0.32% YTD 2025. As of 1/12/2025, we hodl 450,000 $BTC acquired for ~$28.2 billion at ~$62,691 per bitcoin. $MSTR”

Strategic Funding Through Share Sales

To fund its Bitcoin acquisition, MicroStrategy sold 710,425 shares between January 6 and 12, generating the necessary capital under a pre-existing sales agreement. The company retains $6.53 billion in shares for future issuance, signaling its ongoing commitment to aggressive Bitcoin accumulation.

Additionally, the company plans to raise $2 billion through perpetual preferred stock offerings and seeks shareholder approval to increase authorized Class A common stock shares from 330 million to 10.3 billion. While these moves position the company for further growth, concerns about potential equity dilution for existing shareholders persist.

Navigating Market Challenges

MicroStrategy’s bold strategy unfolds amidst Bitcoin’s 10% weekly decline, trading at $91,472, and broader market uncertainties influenced by geopolitical and economic factors. Despite these challenges, the company’s stock has shown resilience, gaining 7% year-to-date to $312.53, though it remains below its November 2024 peak of $474.

Despite analysts’ predictions in a previous CNF report that Bitcoin consolidation was considered a ‘healthy’ step toward $100K, however, opinions remain divided on the long-term impact of MicroStrategy’s aggressive strategy, particularly given Bitcoin’s volatility and the potential risks of shareholder dilution.

This latest purchase underscores MicroStrategy’s unwavering confidence in Bitcoin, even as the company navigates potential risks associated with market turbulence and its shareholder base.

As of now, according to Coin Market Cap data, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $96,132.62, reflecting a 5.97% increase in the past day and a 4.67% decrease in the past week. See BTC price chart below.
