As a seasoned investor with over two decades of experience under my belt, I’ve seen my fair share of market trends come and go. However, MicroStrategy’s bold move into Bitcoin has caught my attention like never before.


Originally known as a business software company, MicroStrategy (MSTR) now identifies as a bitcoin development firm and has recently expanded its substantial bitcoin investments by acquiring an additional 18,300 Bitcoins (BTC).

Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman, announced on Friday that new purchases were made at an average price of approximately $60,408 for each token, bringing MicroStrategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to 244,800. The total cost basis for these holdings is around $9.45 billion, which equates to an average price of about $38,585 per bitcoin. Given the current price of slightly over $58,000, the value of the stack now stands at roughly $14 billion.

Saylor added that the company’s Bitcoin holdings have generated a return of 4.4% this quarter, and 17% since the beginning of the year. The term “BTC yield” is a measurement created by MicroStrategy to explain the percentage change over a defined period in the ratio between the company’s Bitcoin holdings and its estimated diluted shares outstanding.

In 2020, MicroStrategy began acquiring bitcoin and has continued to build its stockpile since then. According to BitcoinTreasuries data, it currently holds the largest amount of this digital currency among all publicly traded corporations globally.

MSTR shares are flat premarket and have risen 91% year-to-date.
