The company funded the acquisition through a combination of stock sales and a preferred stock offering, continuing its aggressive strategy of using capital markets to expand its bitcoin holdings.
Between Feb. 3 and Feb. 9, Microstrategy sold 516,413 shares of its class A common stock, generating net proceeds of approximately $179 million. The company also completed a public offering of 7.3 million shares of its 8.00% Series A Perpetual Strike Preferred Stock (STRK) on Feb. 5, raising approximately $563.4 million. These transactions contributed to the acquisition of 7,633 bitcoins during the same period, purchased at an average price of about $97,255 per bitcoin. As of Feb. 9, 2025, Microstrategy and its subsidiaries held a total of 478,740 BTC, further solidifying the company’s status as the largest corporate holder of the cryptocurrency.
Additionally, Microstrategy provided an update on its 2027 convertible senior notes. The company previously issued a redemption notice for the notes, set to take effect on Feb. 24, 2025. As of Feb. 9, investors had requested conversions totaling approximately $757.8 million in principal amount, leading to the issuance of 5,322,389 shares of class A common stock. Furthermore, the company introduced key performance indicators (KPIs) such as BTC Yield and BTC Gain.
The company reported its Q4 earnings last week, announcing a record increase in quarterly bitcoin holdings, with 218,887 bitcoins acquired for $20.5 billion since the end of Q3. Saylor predicts that bitcoin could reach $13 million by 2045, with a bull case of $49 million and a bear case of $3 million. The latest purchase came after Saylor announced on Feb. 3 that his firm did not buy bitcoin the previous week.
