MicroStrategy Bitcoin stake up to 461k with new $1.1b purchase

Michael Saylor: Bitcoin as a national asset for US Treasury could generate $81 trillion


MicroStrategy continued its Bitcoin buying spree just a day after Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th US president.

The Tysons Corner-based company added another 11,000 Bitcoins (BTC) for $1.1 billion, according to a disclosure document shared by BTC Executive Chairman and Advocate Michael Saylor on Tuesday, January 21.

MicroStrategy acquired its latest stash at an average price of $101,191, marking its first BTC purchase in the new Donald Trump era. At press time, the dotcom-era software developer held a total of 461,000 BTC, acquired for approximately $29.3 billion.

The company’s Bitcoin hoard was valued at $48 billion, with BTC trading at $105,044, down 2% on the day and almost 4% below its all-time high of $108,786 reached on inauguration day.

As Saylor has stated several times, MicroStrategy, the largest publicly traded BTC holder in the world, plans to acquire significantly more Bitcoin by 2028.

Saylor’s ambitious “21/21” roadmap aims to grow the company’s BTC holdings to a valuation above $100 billion, even at current prices. Notably, MicroStrategy is not the only company adopting this aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy.

Bitcoin miners like Marathon Digital and Riot Platforms have also implemented Saylor’s approach to expand their BTC holdings. Similarly, publicly traded companies like KURL and offshore entities like Genius Group have added Bitcoin to their balance sheets.

Even a platform endorsed by President Trump has made large Bitcoin purchases as nationwide adoption looms under the new administration. World Liberty Financial, backed by Trump and his sons, bought $47 million in Bitcoin wrapped (WBTC) shortly before Trump was sworn in.
