MicroStrategy Keeps Stacking Sats
MicroStrategy (MSTR) added to its Bitcoin (BTC) stack once again, purchasing 51,780 tokens for $4.6 billion over the last week.
With this latest purchase, the company — which began buying Bitcoin in August 2020 — now holds 331,200 BTC acquired for about $16.5 billion. At the current price surrounding the $90,000 level, those holdings are worth just less than $30 billion.

Their playbook is simple but effective: issue shares, use the proceeds to buy Bitcoin, and let the dual effect of a rising BTC price and an inflated MSTR stock value work its magic. This symbiotic strategy is paying off—MSTR shares have been a stand-out performer in 2024.
That’s right while Bitcoin was sitting at $85K, most of us were sitting around, too scared to buy, waiting for a dip that never came. Not Saylor. He is going to continue to buy, whatever the price. A lesson in there, folks.

To fund this latest purchase, MicroStrategy tapped its at-the-market share issuance program, selling roughly 13.6 million shares for $4.6 billion. The company has about another $15.3 billion of stock it can sell under the current program, according to a regulatory statement released Monday morning.
Just one week ago, the company announced it had purchased 27,200 bitcoin for $2 billion, thus putting buys over the past few weeks to about 72,000 BTC for $6.6 billion.
