Breaking: MicroStrategy Buys 27,200 BTC Worth Over $2B, MSTR Stock Jumps 8%

As a seasoned crypto investor with a knack for spotting promising opportunities, I find MicroStrategy’s latest move to acquire 27,200 BTC for $2 billion nothing short of intriguing. With Bitcoin reaching new highs and MicroStrategy’s total holdings now standing at 279,420 BTC, it’s safe to say that their ‘Bitcoin Strategy’ is paying off handsomely.


MicroStrategy recently disclosed that it has purchased additional Bitcoin worth approximately $2 billion, bringing its total holdings to 279,420 BTC. This decision was made as the price of Bitcoin hit record highs, resulting in an unrealized profit of over $10 billion for the company. Simultaneously, MicroStrategy’s stock (MSTR) saw a jump of 8% following this announcement.

MicroStrategy Acquires 27,200 BTC

As a researcher, I’m sharing an update based on MicroStrategy’s recent announcement. They disclosed in a press release that they procured 27,200 Bitcoins for approximately $2 billion between October 31 and November 10, with each Bitcoin costing around $74,463. This latest acquisition adds to their existing holdings of 279,420 bitcoins, which they had previously purchased for a total of $11.9 billion, at an average price of $42,692 per bitcoin.

In addition, the firm disclosed that it has earned a 7.3% return on Bitcoin (BTC) within this quarter, and an impressive 26.4% for the entire year so far. This BTC yield is a significant metric, often referred to as Key Performance Indicator (KPI), which measures the percentage shift from one period to another in the ratio between the company’s Bitcoin holdings and its Diluted Shares Outstanding.

Currently, Bitcoin prices are hitting record peaks, causing the firm’s investment in Bitcoin to accrue an unrealized profit worth more than $10 billion. Since August 2020, this software company has consistently added Bitcoin to its holdings as part of a strategic approach known as the ‘Bitcoin Strategy’, which was conceived by its co-founder, Michael Saylor.

Meanwhile, MicroStrategy remains a significant player in the Bitcoin market, holding one of the largest stashes. At present, it ranks fifth behind Satoshi Nakamoto, Binance, BlackRock, and Grayscale in terms of Bitcoin holdings. Among publicly traded companies, MicroStrategy leads with the most Bitcoin, owning 1.2% of the total Bitcoin supply.

MSTR Stock Jumps 8%

According to recent data from Nasdaq, MicroStrategy’s MSTR shares have surged by 8% due to their Bitcoin acquisition announcement. This move towards cryptocurrency has consistently given a positive perspective on the company’s stock value.

1) It’s been a fantastic year for MSTR stocks, with their value skyrocketing by more than 300%. This surge surpasses that of Bitcoin and other significant assets. Remarkably, since the software company decided on the ‘Bitcoin Strategy’ in 2020, the stock has seen an even more impressive increase of over 1,000%!

As a crypto analyst, I’ve made a projection: if MicroStrategy were to join the S&P 500 in the future, it might attract approximately $10 billion in inflows. Such a significant investment could potentially propel the stock price up to an impressive $500.

At the same time, it’s worth noting that the stock is also expected to rise due to the possibility of joining the S&P 500, and what’s more, MicroStrategy has plans to continue purchasing Bitcoin. The company recently disclosed its intention to raise $42 billion via share offerings and bond sales for the purpose of acquiring additional Bitcoins.
