The company is holding true to its audacious 'HODL' strategy with now its ninth consecutively weekly buy.
Software company MicroStrategy is pushing forward with its Bitcoin buying spree in 2025, today snapping up more than $100 million worth of the orange coin.
An SEC filing and Monday announcement from the company’s co-founder and Bitcoin bull Michael Saylor showed that MicroStrategy spent $101 million buying 1,070 BTC at an average price of $94,004. That's roughly half the amount of Bitcoin the company bought last week, consistent with the weekly buying trend that MicroStrategy started in November following the reelection of Donald Trump.
MicroStrategy now holds 447,470 Bitcoin in total. At today’s Bitcoin price of $101,832, that’s a stash worth over $45.5 billion. All told, the company bought their coins at an average price of $62,503, the announcement said.
MicroStrategy has acquired 1,070 BTC for ~$101 million at ~$94,004 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 48.0% in Q4 2024 and 74.3% in FY 2024. As of 01/05/2025, we hodl 447,470 $BTC acquired for ~$27.97 billion at ~$62,503 per bitcoin. $MSTR
Prediction markets last week were bullish that MicroStrategy would buy more Bitcoin today—and understandably so, given that that today's purchase makes nine consecutively weekly buys for Saylor's company.
On Myriad—a points-based prediction market and engagement platform developed by Dastan, parent company of an editorially independent Decrypt—users saw an 86% chance that MicroStrategy would hold at least 450,000 BTC before the end of this week. Those odds, though, have now tanked to just 20% as of this writing following the company's announcement of a much smaller purchase relative to previous weeks.
On the Monday following Trump's win, MicroStrategy announced it bought more than $2 billion worth of Bitcoin. It then followed up the next week with another $4.6 billion, and then again with its single largest purchase yet of $5.4 billion the week after that.
The company has continued buying more Bitcoin every week since, but the individual amounts have gradually decreased in recent weeks as the price of Bitcoin has swelled. Users on Polymarket, a prediction market co-founded by Shayne Coplan in 2020, currently see only a 2% chance that MicroSrategy holds more than 500,000 BTC by Trump's inauguration on January 20.
MicroStrategy was previously a software company that sold data-analyzing solutions to companies. It still does that, but Saylor has since rebranded the firm as a Bitcoin development company, leading with its Bitcoin treasury.
It all started in 2020, when covid lockdowns and record low interest rates threatened to hurt the company’s shareholders, according to Saylor. He decided to buy Bitcoin and has since argued that the asset—being scarce—is the best way to preserve wealth.
Now, MicroStrategy makes most of its money by securitizing the biggest cryptocurrency by market cap: investors wanting exposure to Bitcoin can buy shares of the company that trade on the Nasdaq—an arguably safer, more regulated way of crypto investing.
It is now the biggest publicly traded holder of the cryptocurrency and issues debt to buy Bitcoin—making a killing for investors in the process: MicroStrategy stock is up over 500% year-to-date.
But concerns have been raised about how viable this is if the price of Bitcoin were to tank: the company is highly leveraged and some analysts now believe the stock price may be overvalued.

MicroStrategy to Join Nasdaq-100 Index Following Bitcoin Surge
$BTC

In a significant development, MicroStrategy (MSTR.O), the leading business intelligence firm and aggressive Bitcoin investor, is set to be added to the prestigious Nasdaq-100 Index. This inclusion comes after a dramatic surge in the company’s stock price, fueled by its substantial investments in Bitcoin. Nasdaq announced that the change will take effect before the market opens on December 23, 2024.

A Boost for MicroStrategy's Stock

Typically, when a company is included in the Nasdaq-100 Index, it experiences an uptick in its stock price. This is largely due to exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that replicate the performance of the index and, as a result, purchase shares of the newly added company. MicroStrategy’s inclusion follows a meteoric rise in its share value, which has surged over six-fold this year. As of now, the company boasts a market value of nearly $94 billion.

MicroStrategy is known for being one of the largest corporate holders of Bitcoin. The company’s investment strategy in the world's largest cryptocurrency has significantly influenced its stock price, showcasing the impact of Bitcoin’s price fluctuations on its corporate valuation. As Bitcoin continues to dominate the crypto landscape, MicroStrategy’s ability to tap into its growth has positioned it as a major player in the market.

Changes in the Nasdaq-100

Along with MicroStrategy, other notable companies have been added to the Nasdaq-100 Index. Palantir Technologies (PLTR.O), a big name in data analytics, and Axon Enterprise (AXON.O), the maker of Taser products, were also included in the index. Meanwhile, some major players were removed, including gene-sequencing equipment manufacturer Illumina (ILMN.O), AI server maker Super Micro Computer (SMCI.O), and vaccine maker Moderna (MRNA.O).

This reshuffling of the Nasdaq-100 Index reflects the growing importance of companies in the tech and crypto sectors. With investors increasingly focused on innovation and digital assets, companies like MicroStrategy are being rewarded for their strategic focus on Bitcoin.

MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Bet Pays Off

MicroStrategy’s focus on Bitcoin began in 2020 when it became the first publicly traded company to make a large-scale investment in the cryptocurrency. The company’s commitment to Bitcoin has been unwavering, with the firm amassing over $12 billion worth of Bitcoin in its portfolio. This bold move has paid off handsomely as Bitcoin’s value has soared, significantly boosting MicroStrategy's market valuation and financial performance.

The company’s continued success in the crypto space highlights the growing trend of traditional firms leveraging digital assets as part of their investment strategies. With the growing institutional adoption of Bitcoin, MicroStrategy’s inclusion in the Nasdaq-100 further solidifies the growing acceptance of cryptocurrency in the mainstream financial sector.

What's Next for MicroStrategy?

As MicroStrategy enters the Nasdaq-100, all eyes will be on the company’s next move. Its stock price and market value are expected to continue benefiting from its association with Bitcoin, and the company is likely to keep expanding its crypto investments. However, challenges remain, as the volatility of Bitcoin could impact its performance. Still, MicroStrategy’s inclusion in the Nasdaq-100 serves as a testament to the power of cryptocurrency in shaping the future of the financial markets.

As the digital asset landscape continues to evolve, companies like MicroStrategy are proving that strategic investments in Bitcoin can redefine corporate growth and investment success. The future of corporate crypto investments looks brighter than ever.
