New 21-21 Plan Targets $42 Billion for Bitcoin Acquisition

MicroStrategy recently launched a bold 21-21 strategic plan to secure $42 billion in capital by 2027. The company aims to split this evenly, gathering $21 billion through equity and $21 billion in fixed income to expand its Bitcoin holdings. By implementing the largest ATM equity program ever, MicroStrategy plans to build a substantial Bitcoin reserve.

The roadmap sets a $10 billion target for 2025, split equally between equity and fixed income. This amount rises to $14 billion in 2026 and reaches $18 billion in 2027. A staggered schedule allows the company to balance interest costs effectively, switching between equity and debt funding as necessary.
