MicroStrategy's Bold Bitcoin Bet: CEO Saylor Boosts Holdings with $209 Million Purchase

MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor recently announced that the company bought about 2,138 Bitcoin for nearly $209 million, with an average cost of $97,837 per coin. This marks the eighth consecutive purchase as the company continues to expand its collection. Following this news, Bitcoin's price increased by 8%, reaching $98,000 on January 5, 2025, showing growing confidence in Bitcoin as a valuable asset, partly due to MicroStrategy's ongoing commitment to buy more.

This acquisition is part of MicroStrategy's 21/21 Plan, which aims to raise $42 billion for Bitcoin purchases by selling stocks and bonds. To date, the company has acquired over 446,400 Bitcoin, valued at around $27.9 billion. The latest purchase highlights MicroStrategy's bullish outlook on Bitcoin and could influence the broader market as more significant investors show interest in cryptocurrencies.
