A Cryptic Tweet Sparks Speculation
Michael Saylor, co-founder and executive chairman of MicroStrategy, has once again hinted at a potential Bitcoin purchase. In a cryptic tweet, Saylor shared a screenshot of the Saylortracker chart, which tracks MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin acquisitions. The tweet referenced the “next green dot,” symbolizing a new addition to their Bitcoin portfolio.
This comes as MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin holdings reach an unprecedented 447,470 BTC, currently valued at $42.24 billion.
Aggressive Bitcoin Buying Spree
MicroStrategy’s latest purchase occurred on January 6, 2025, when the company added 1,070 BTC at an average price of $94,004, totaling $101 million. This acquisition continues a trend of aggressive accumulation that delivered impressive returns in 2024.
- In 2024, MicroStrategy acquired 258,320 BTC at an average price of $85,450, investing $22.07 billion.
- This strategy resulted in a 74.3% yield, significantly growing the company’s initial holdings of 189,150 BTC.
- On average, the company purchased 385 BTC daily throughout 2024.
MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin-focused strategy has proven highly lucrative, with an unrealized return of 51.11%, representing paper profits of $14.28 billion.
Strategic Dollar-Cost Averaging
MicroStrategy’s acquisition strategy, displayed through the “green dots” on the Saylortracker chart, reveals consistent buying during both market dips and rallies.
Since its first Bitcoin purchase in 2020 at $10,000 per BTC, the company has employed a dollar-cost averaging approach. Recent acquisitions at prices nearing $100,000 per BTC reflect confidence in long-term value.
Saylor projects that a Bitcoin price of $100,000 would translate to $14.06 billion in shareholder value from the 2024 purchases alone, averaging $38.5 million in daily value creation.
Confidence Amid Market Fluctuations
Despite Bitcoin’s recent dip to the $95,000 level, Saylor’s hint at further acquisitions underscores MicroStrategy’s commitment to its Bitcoin treasury strategy.
The company’s shares (MSTR), currently valued at $327.91, boast a market capitalization of $80.59 billion, with a net asset value premium of 1.91x based on 226.14 million outstanding shares.
MicroStrategy’s unrelenting focus on Bitcoin solidifies its role as a major institutional player in the crypto space, with Saylor leading the charge toward continued growth.
