MicroStrategy has solidified its position as the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, with treasury assets now worth $73 billion. The company recently purchased 525 Bitcoin for $60 million, bringing total holdings to 638,985 BTC.
Executive Chairman Michael Saylor announced the latest acquisition at an average price of $114,562 per Bitcoin. This purchase continues the company’s aggressive accumulation strategy that began in August 2020 with a $250 million investment.
The Bitcoin-focused approach has delivered exceptional returns for shareholders. MicroStrategy stock has generated 91% annualized returns since adopting its Bitcoin standard, crushing major technology competitors.
These gains far exceed traditional tech leaders. Nvidia posted 72% annual returns despite its AI chip dominance. Tesla managed 32% returns over the same period.
Other Magnificent Seven stocks performed worse. Alphabet recorded 26% returns while Meta achieved 23%. Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon produced even lower gains.
Stock Performance Metrics Show Clear Leadership
MicroStrategy’s open interest to market cap ratio reached 100.5%, dwarfing Tesla’s 26%. The company trades at $324.05 per share, representing 140% gains over the past year.
Despite outperforming established tech giants, MicroStrategy remains excluded from the S&P 500 index. This exclusion continues even as the company demonstrates consistent profitability and growth.
The business intelligence firm has developed sophisticated funding mechanisms to support Bitcoin purchases. The company raises capital through MSTR share sales and preferred stock instruments including STRF, STRK, STRD, and STRC offerings.
Each preferred share type offers different dividend rates and conversion options. This diversified approach allows continuous Bitcoin accumulation without depleting operational cash reserves.
MicroStrategy’s average Bitcoin cost basis stands at $73,880 per coin. Total investment in Bitcoin reaches $47.2 billion including transaction fees and associated costs.
Corporate Bitcoin Adoption Accelerates Globally
The broader corporate Bitcoin trend has gained momentum beyond MicroStrategy. Data shows the top 100 public companies now control 1,009,202 Bitcoin worth over $117 billion.
Recent corporate purchases include Gemini adding 1,191 BTC and Singapore-based Bitdeer acquiring 333.5 BTC. Smaller allocations came from Metaplanet in Japan, Cango in China, and Volcon in the United States.
Industry analyst Thomas Lee from Fundstrat describes MicroStrategy as a “granny shot ETF” for Bitcoin exposure. The company provides traditional stock market access to cryptocurrency returns.
The strategy has proven resilient across market cycles. While other tech stocks face regulatory pressure and slowing demand, MicroStrategy continues expanding its Bitcoin position.
Corporate treasuries worldwide are treating Bitcoin as a strategic balance sheet asset. This trend spans Asia, Europe, and North America as companies seek inflation hedges and digital asset exposure.
MicroStrategy’s success demonstrates how Bitcoin treasury strategies can outperform traditional corporate investment approaches.
