MicroStrategy, the leading corporate holder of Bitcoin, has kicked off 2025 with a bang, securing its largest acquisition of the year so far. On January 21, the company announced the purchase of 11,000 $BTC, valued at a staggering $1.1 billion in cash. This acquisition brings the firm’s total Bitcoin holdings to an impressive 461,000 $BTC.
The purchase, made between January 13 and January 20, occurred just days before President Donald Trump’s inauguration. At an average price of $101,191 per $BTC, this latest buy reflects MicroStrategy's continued commitment to bolstering its Bitcoin reserves.
Like previous acquisitions, this purchase was funded through proceeds from convertible notes sales, a strategy the company has consistently employed. Michael Saylor, MicroStrategy's co-founder, confirmed the details in an X post, emphasizing the strategic importance of this investment.
Saylor had previously hinted at the acquisition on January 19, aligning with his pattern of signaling upcoming buys. With a total of 14,600 $BTC purchased in January alone, MicroStrategy has achieved a year-to-date Bitcoin yield of 1.69%.
The firm’s total Bitcoin expenditure now stands at $29.3 billion, with an average acquisition price of $63,610 per $BTC, solidifying its position as a dominant player in the cryptocurrency market.
