MicroStrategy Acquires 7,633 BTC For $742 Million

In a press release, MicroStrategy, now doing business as Strategy, announced that it has acquired 7,633 BTC for $742 million at an average price of $97,255 per Bitcoin and has achieved a BTC yield of 4.1% year-to-date (YTD).

The software and Bitcoin treasury company further revealed that it now holds 478,740 BTC, which it acquired for $31.1 billion at an average price of $65,033 per Bitcoin. This recent purchase is MicroStrategy’s first since it rebranded to ‘Strategy.’

As part of the rebrand, the company also unveiled its new logo, which featured a Bitcoin symbol, signifying its BTC strategy and “unique position as a Bitcoin Treasury company.”

Meanwhile, while revealing its Q4 2024 earnings, the company announced that it has revised its annual BTC Yield target to a minimum of 15% for 2025. Strategy also plans to take its evolution further with the introduction of the “BTC $ Gain KPI.”

The software company will also likely continue to make more BTC purchases in the weeks to come as it announced that it has completed $20 billion of its $42 billion capital plan, significantly ahead of the initial timelines.

The software company is currently the public company with the largest Bitcoin holding, well ahead of MARA Holdings, which currently holds 26,000 BTC.
