MicroStrategy ramps up Bitcoin war chest again, now holding 712,647 BTC MicroStrategy — the publicly traded firm led by executive chairman Michael Saylor — added another chunk of Bitcoin to its balance sheet last week, according to an SEC filing. - The company purchased 2,932 BTC for about $264.1 million, paying an average of $90,061 per coin. - After the latest buy, MicroStrategy’s total holdings stand at 712,647 BTC—reported as roughly 3.2% of Bitcoin’s 21 million supply. - The firm’s cumulative investment in Bitcoin totals about $54.2 billion (including fees), reflecting an average acquisition price near $76,037 per BTC. At current market levels, MicroStrategy’s stash is valued near $62.5 billion, implying sizeable unrealized gains. How the buys were funded MicroStrategy financed these purchases by tapping capital markets: it raised cash through at-the-market sales of Class A common stock and perpetual preferred shares. The company said that, even after last week’s sales, billions of dollars’ worth of shares remain available under those programs. Signals and momentum The buy was foreshadowed publicly. Saylor shared an update from MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin acquisition tracker on X the day before the SEC filing appeared, signaling the move ahead of confirmation. This latest acquisition follows a sizable purchase reported just a week earlier: MicroStrategy disclosed it had bought 22,305 BTC for roughly $2.1 billion at an average price of $91,519 per coin. That prior week’s addition brought the company’s holdings to 709,715 BTC at the time and was its largest weekly accumulation since November 2024, when it added 55,500 BTC. Market position among public companies With more than 712,000 BTC, MicroStrategy remains the largest Bitcoin holder among publicly listed companies. Competitors such as Marathon Digital Holdings and Twenty One Capital hold only a fraction of that amount—typically in the tens of thousands of coins. Across the top 100 public companies that hold Bitcoin, total combined holdings are a little over 1.13 million BTC, meaning MicroStrategy alone accounts for well over half of the Bitcoin held by listed firms.
