MicroStrategy Doubles Down on Bitcoin With $1.1 Billion Investment

Bitcoin development firm MicroStrategy has made headlines once again, securing another massive chunk of the cryptocurrency. Co-founder and Executive Chairman Michael Saylor revealed Monday that the company purchased 10,107 Bitcoin over the past week at an average price of $105,596 per coin, totaling approximately $1.1 billion.

This aggressive acquisition comes as Bitcoin trades at $100,700 following a dip to $98,380 earlier Monday. With this latest purchase, MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin holdings now stand at 471,107 coins, valued at over $47 billion. The firm has invested a staggering $30.4 billion in Bitcoin at an average cost of $64,511 per coin.

Once a quiet software company, MicroStrategy has transformed into a Bitcoin powerhouse. Its strategy has driven the company’s market cap to new heights, rewarding shareholders significantly. Through its Nasdaq-listed shares (MSTR), MicroStrategy offers investors a regulated way to gain exposure to Bitcoin, aligning its business model with the cryptocurrency’s long-term potential.

The firm began its Bitcoin journey in 2020 and has shown no signs of slowing down. Over the last 12 weeks, it has ramped up its buying spree, making weekly acquisitions. Saylor remains a staunch advocate, calling Bitcoin the ultimate hedge against inflation and urging other companies to follow suit.

This strategy has earned MicroStrategy a prestigious spot in the Nasdaq-100 index, which features top-tier companies like Apple and Microsoft.

Despite its bold moves, MicroStrategy’s stock (NASDAQ: MSTR) has faced recent challenges, trading at $340 per share—down 14% over the past week and 4% on Monday amid a broader market slump attributed to the rise of Chinese AI model, DeepSeek.

By cementing its role as a Bitcoin giant, MicroStrategy continues to redefine itself, intertwining its success with the future of cryptocurrency.
