Since November 2024, the company has not missed a week without announcing a BTC purchase. According to Saylor, he plans to keep stacking the crypto no matter the price.
461,000 BTC Bagged
MicroStrategy completed its latest purchase at an average price of $101,191 per bitcoin and now holds about 461,000 BTC, which it acquired for approximately $29.3 billion at $63,610 per bitcoin. Consequently, it has achieved a BTC Yield of 1.69% YTD in 2025.
The spot BTC price of $104,000 shows that the company’s holdings are valued at approximately $48 billion, a 63.8% increase in unrealized profits.
Driven by MicroStrategy’s high yield and profits from BTC purchases, a few publicly traded firms like Semler Scientific, Genius Group, and others have joined the trend of institutional crypto adoption by embracing Bitcoin as a primary reserve asset.
BTC Hits New All-time High
A day to Saylor’s company bitcoin purchase, the world’s leading crypto soared to a new all-time high. It hit the $109,800 mark on Monday as bullish investors acquired the crypto before the latest U.S. president’s inauguration. During his campaign, American Donald Trump promised to ensure a smooth running of crypto transactions and regular BTC purchases for the country. Therefore, many investors aped into the crypto due to optimism.
Following his induction, skepticism has risen on whether implementing his crypto promises is on the list of prioritized orders. Reassuringly, Bitcoin Magazine CEO David Bailey has revealed that one of the new president’s first 200 Executive Orders includes crypto.
Meanwhile, after Trump stepped in as President, U.S. crypto-pessimistic SEC Chair Gary Gensler has stepped down.
