Michael Saylor announced that MicroStrategy spent $1.1 billion in a major new Bitcoin buy today, seemingly kicking off a new trend in the firm’s purchasing strategy. The company showed diminishing acquisitions over the last month, but the latest purchase has reversed earlier trends.
This round of purchases comes after MicroStrategy significantly increased its common stock offering.
Saylor Continues His Aggressive Bitcoin Purchase Trend
Since MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor directed his firm to begin major Bitcoin purchases, it has become one of the world’s largest BTC holders. Today, he announced a major new buy on social media, making it the firm’s third BTC acquisition of the year.
“MicroStrategy has acquired 11,000 BTC for ~$1.1 billion at ~$101,191 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 1.69% YTD 2025. As of 1/20/2025, we hold 461,000 BTC acquired for ~$29.3 billion at ~$63,610 per bitcoin,” Saylor claimed.
Throughout December 2024, Saylor made steady Bitcoin purchases. He began the month with a $2.1 billion buy, followed by $1.5 billion a week later.
This continued until he announced an acquisition of just over $100 million, at which point the community began speculating that he might institute a pause.
However, his behavior in January 2025 has completely bucked that trend. The price of Bitcoin recently hit an all-time high, and Saylor has increased the size of these acquisitions.
The firm began 2025 with a $101 million purchase and doubled it one week later. However, today’s action is around 5x the last amount. Bitcoin is performing quite well, and MicroStrategy is capitalizing on it.
Just one question remains, however: where is Saylor getting the liquidity to buy this much Bitcoin? These purchases steadily declined for weeks, and MicroStrategy presumably had a reason for this.
At the beginning of the month, the firm openly considered a major new stock offering to raise liquidity for more acquisitions. Presumably, something like this took place.
Ultimately, Saylor’s public posture towards Bitcoin looks as bullish as ever. His social media presence is filled with optimistic statements about the asset’s future, and there are no hints of any pessimism.
MicroStrategy’s purchases over the last few months have been difficult to predict, but it may have already started another wave of huge investments.
