MicroStrategy Expands Bitcoin Portfolio with 3,459 BTC Purchase Reaching Total Holdings of 531,644

Summary

• MicroStrategy has further increased its Bitcoin holdings by purchasing 3,459 BTC for approximately $286 million, bringing their total to over 531,000 BTC valued at around $45 billion, solidifying their position as the leading corporate Bitcoin holder.

• The latest Bitcoin acquisition was funded through proceeds from selling MicroStrategy (MSTR) stock, demonstrating the company’s continued strategy to leverage equity to expand its cryptocurrency portfolio.

• Despite market volatility and recent unrealized losses on their Bitcoin investments, MicroStrategy, led by Michael Saylor, remains committed to its Bitcoin strategy, with another Bitcoin-focused firm, Metaplanet, also announcing significant Bitcoin accumulation.

Undeterred by current market challenges, MicroStrategy continues its determined path toward its ambitious goal of accumulating $42 billion in Bitcoin.

Continued Bitcoin Accumulation Despite Market Conditions

The company, spearheaded by Michael Saylor, revealed today the acquisition of an additional 3,459 Bitcoins.

These purchases were made between April 7th and 13th, at an average cost of $82,618 per coin.

This latest investment elevates MicroStrategy‘s overall Bitcoin reserve to an impressive 531,644 BTC, an amount valued at approximately $45 billion based on current market valuations.

Funding from Equity Offering

A recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Monday disclosed that MicroStrategy financed its most recent Bitcoin acquisition through capital generated from its “at-the-market” (ATM) equity offering program for common stock.

Over the period from April 7th to 13th, the company divested 959,712 shares of its MSTR stock, successfully generating net proceeds of roughly $286 million.

Significant Stock Reserves and Unrealized Losses

As of April 13th, MicroStrategy still maintains a substantial reserve of its stock, with over $2.08 billion in MSTR shares and almost $21 billion in STRK shares earmarked for potential future issuance and sale.

This latest acquisition comes after a brief week-long hiatus in purchasing activity, a period during which the company disclosed an unrealized paper loss of nearly $6 billion on its existing Bitcoin assets.

Saylor’s Commitment and Market Signal

Despite the impact of the recent market downturn, Michael Saylor, a prominent Bitcoin proponent and leader of the company, has not indicated any plans to liquidate the firm’s cryptocurrency holdings.

Adding to speculation about an imminent purchase, Saylor shared an image of MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin portfolio tracker on the social media platform X this past Sunday— a typical signal often preceding announcements of further Bitcoin acquisitions by the company.

Continuing Unrealized Gains

Currently, according to data from the Michael Saylor Portfolio Tracker, MicroStrategy’s substantial Bitcoin holdings continue to demonstrate considerable unrealized profits, estimated at around $9 billion, as Bitcoin’s trading price remains above $84,500 at the time of reporting.

Dominant Position in Corporate Bitcoin Holdings

This recent acquisition reinforces MicroStrategy’s leadership position as the corporation with the largest Bitcoin holdings worldwide.

The publicly traded company on the Nasdaq exchange now possesses approximately 2.5% of the total Bitcoin supply in circulation, significantly surpassing other corporate holders such as MARA Holdings, Riot Platforms, and Galaxy Digital Holdings.

Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Accumulation in Asia

In related news, Metaplanet, a firm focused on Bitcoin investment and frequently referred to as “Asia’s MicroStrategy,” also publicized another phase of Bitcoin accumulation on the same Monday.

This Japanese investment entity invested a further $26 million into Bitcoin, increasing its total Bitcoin reserves to 4,525 BTC.

Metaplanet’s 2025 Target and Global Rank

Even in the face of recent market fluctuations potentially instigated by tariff policies proposed by former President Donald Trump, Metaplanet remains firmly on course to achieve its ambitious objective of amassing 10,000 Bitcoins by the close of 2025.

The company currently holds the position of the ninth-largest publicly traded corporate Bitcoin holder globally and claims the top spot within Asia.
