MicroStrategy has once again strengthened its position as a leading corporate Bitcoin holder by acquiring 11,000 BTC.

According to a January 21 SEC filing, the firm said it invested $1.1 billion in Bitcoin at an average price of $101,191 per coin. This purchase stands out as its largest single investment in 2025 and the third acquisition this year. To fund the buy, MicroStrategy sold 3,012,072 shares, generating the required $1.1 billion.

Following this acquisition, the company’s total Bitcoin holdings have reached 461,000 BTC, currently valued at around $48 billion.

Additionally, the company’s Bitcoin yield for the year has increased to 1.69%, showcasing its ongoing commitment to expanding its cryptocurrency portfolio.

Strategic Shares Increase

On the same day, MicroStrategy shareholders also approved amendments to expand the company’s authorized stock.

The recent shareholder vote paved the way for significant changes, including increasing the authorized Class A common stock and preferred stock from 300 million to 10.3 billion shares.

Market observers said these changes provide the flexibility needed to support the company’s aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy.

In October 2024, the company announced its “21/21 plan,” aiming to raise $42 billion over three years through equity and debt sales. As of January 20, about $5.42 billion worth of shares remain available for sale under this plan.

Institutional Adoption

The timing of MicroStrategy’s latest move aligns with optimism around regulatory developments under the Trump administration.

Speculation of a potential national Bitcoin reserve has fueled market excitement, with betting platform Kalshi assigning a 66% probability to its creation this year.

Bitcoin’s price climbed to $106,248 following MicroStrategy’s announcement, rebounding from earlier declines. Meanwhile, the company’s stock continues to perform well, up 37% in 2025 and over 500% in 2024.

Despite Bitcoin’s volatility, analysts view MicroStrategy’s strategy as a bold statement of institutional confidence. CryptoQuant’s CEO Ki Young Ju highlighted that the company’s stock remains undervalued compared to its Bitcoin holdings, making it a compelling choice for institutional investors.
