MicroStrategy Continues Weekly Bitcoin Buying Spree With Another $101 Million

Software company MicroStrategy continues its Bitcoin buying spree in 2025, snapping up more than $100 million worth of the orange coin today.

An SEC filing and Monday announcement from company co-founder and Bitcoin bull Michael Saylor showed that MicroStrategy spent $101 million buying 1,070 BTC at an average price of $94,004. That’s about half the amount of Bitcoin the company bought last week, consistent with the weekly buying trend that MicroStrategy started in November after Donald Trump’s re-election.

MicroStrategy now owns a total of 447,470 Bitcoin. At the current Bitcoin price of $101,832, that is a stock worth over $45.5 billion. All told, the company purchased their coins for an average price of $62,503, the announcement said.

Last week’s prediction markets were optimistic that MicroStrategy would buy more Bitcoin today– and that’s understandable, considering today’s purchase makes nine consecutive weekly purchases for Saylor’s company.

On Myriad– a points-based prediction market and engagement platform developed by Dastan, parent company of an editorially independent company Declutter–users saw an 86% chance that MicroStrategy would own at least 450,000 BTC before the end of this week. However, those chances have now dropped to just 20% at the time of writing, after the company announced a much smaller purchase than in previous weeks.

On the Monday after Trump’s victory, MicroStrategy announced it had purchased more than $2 billion worth of Bitcoin. The following week, the company followed with another $4.6 billion, and again the week after that with its largest purchase to date at $5.4 billion.

The company has continued to buy more Bitcoin every week since then, but the individual amounts have gradually decreased in recent weeks as the price of Bitcoin has risen. Users of Polymarket, a prediction market co-founded in 2020 by Shayne Coplan, are currently seeing this only 2% chance that MicroSrategy held more than 500,000 BTC at Trump’s inauguration on January 20.

MicroStrategy was previously a software company that sold data analytics solutions to businesses. It still does, but Saylor has since rebranded the company as a Bitcoin development company, leading with its Bitcoin Treasury.

It all started in 2020, when Covid lockdowns and record low interest rates threatened to hurt the company’s shareholders, Saylor said. He decided to buy Bitcoin and has since argued that owning it – because it is scarce – is the best way to preserve wealth.

Now MicroStrategy makes most of its money by securitizing the largest cryptocurrency by market cap: Investors who want exposure to Bitcoin can buy shares of the company that trades on the Nasdaq – an arguably safer, more regulated way of investing in cryptocurrency .

It is now the largest publicly traded holder of the cryptocurrency and is issuing debt to buy Bitcoin – which means a killing for investors: MicroStrategy shares are up more than 500% this year.

But there were concerns increased on how viable this is if Bitcoin’s price were to fall: The company has a high debt load and some analysts now believe its share price may be overvalued.
