MicroStrategy continues to reinforce its unparalleled commitment to Bitcoin, solidifying its status as the world's largest corporate holder of the digital asset. Under the unwavering conviction of its founder, Michael Saylor, the company has further expanded its substantial Bitcoin treasury, navigating market fluctuations with a long-term strategic vision bolstered by favorable policy changes.
Expanding Bitcoin Treasury
MicroStrategy recently deepened its investment in Bitcoin with a fresh purchase. The company acquired an additional 220 BTC, valued at approximately $27.2 million, at an average price of $123,561 per coin. This latest acquisition pushes MicroStrategy's total holdings to an impressive 640,250 BTC. These holdings are currently valued at roughly $47.38 billion, cementing its position as the top corporate Bitcoin holder globally. This standing has been independently validated by data from BitBo and CoinGecko's Bitcoin Treasury Holdings. MicroStrategy's stock (MSTR) responded positively to the announcement, experiencing a 3.5% jump even as Bitcoin itself saw a slight dip in market value.
Strategic Reinforcement and Policy Tailwinds
Founder Michael Saylor has consistently demonstrated a strong belief in Bitcoin, often "doubling down" on the asset despite market volatility and criticism from skeptics like long-time gold advocate Peter Schiff. Saylor’s conviction in Bitcoin as a long-term treasury asset for MicroStrategy has recently received significant reinforcement. New guidance from the IRS marks a major win for companies deeply invested in digital assets. The revised policy now allows companies to defer taxes on unrealized gains until assets are sold. This reverses earlier Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (CAMT) rules. For MicroStrategy, this policy change significantly eases financial pressure and further strengthens the rationale behind its aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy, setting a benchmark for institutional adoption.
