MicroStrategy’s Journey to Collect Bitcoin

2020: The Start of MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Journey

The company first purchased 21,454 BTC on August 11, 2020, for $250 million at an average price of $11,653 per BTC. This move came after Saylor changed his views on Bitcoin from being a skeptic to one of the biggest supporters of the digital asset.

After the initial purchase, MicroStrategy continued to increase its stake:

• September 2020: Purchased 16,796 BTC worth $175 million
• December 2020: Added 29,646 BTC at $21,925 per BTC

Not only using company funds, MicroStrategy also issued debt and sold shares to buy more Bitcoin.

2021: A Big Year for MicroStrategy and Bitcoin

In 2021, MicroStrategy got even more aggressive in buying Bitcoin. They accumulated 19,500 BTC in just one month, at an average price of $52,765 per BTC, spending over $1 billion.

Throughout the year, they continued to buy more BTC, including:

• June 2021: Purchased 13,000 BTC at $37,617 per BTC, one of their best purchases.
• December 2021: Buy Bitcoin at $49,229 – $59,187 per BTC.

Saylor’s strategy was met with both pros and cons. Some called it bold, while others considered it too risky a decision. However, he remains firm in his belief that Bitcoin is the best asset for the long term.

2022: Crypto market crashes, but Saylor remains optimistic

2022 was a difficult year for Bitcoin, with the price plummeting below $16,000. Many investors panicked and withdrew their funds, but Saylor consistently bought more BTC.

Over the course of this year, MicroStrategy bought Bitcoin in several tranches:

• April 2022: 4,167 BTC at $45,714 per BTC.
• June 2022: 10,000 BTC at $20,817 per BTC.
• December 2022: 704 BTC was sold at $16,776, but purchases continued.

Despite the sharp drop in Bitcoin price, MicroStrategy still made huge profits due to their buying strategy when the price was lower.

2023: MicroStrategy Collects 140,000 BTC

As of April 2023, MicroStrategy already held more than 140,000 BTC, with an average purchase price of $29,803 per BTC.

This year, the price of Bitcoin has increased significantly again. Some of the major purchases made by MicroStrategy include:

• March 2023: 6,455 BTC purchased at $23,238 per BTC.
• September 2023: 5,445 BTC added to their portfolio.
• December 2023: Purchased 14,620 BTC when Bitcoin price reached $42,110, for a total investment of $615.7 million.

At the end of 2023, Saylor closed with a huge profit, proving that its long-term investment strategy was starting to pay off.

How much is MicroStrategy Bitcoin worth right now?

With Bitcoin’s price above $82,589, MicroStrategy’s total BTC holdings are worth $35.9 billion, providing an unrealized gain of $2.8 billion.

The company is now 25.36% profitable, with a total profit of $8.4 billion. However, there is a big risk: if the price of Bitcoin falls below $66,380, then their entire investment will suffer a loss.
