MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Investment Yields Over 25% Returns
MicroStrategy (MSTR) has generated over 25% returns from its Bitcoin (BTC) investments, with a paper profit of around $9 billion, according to SaylorTracker data.
Michael Saylor, co-founder of MicroStrategy, indicated the possibility of further Bitcoin purchases.
As of Q1 2025, 13,000+ institutions and 814,000 individual accounts hold MSTR directly, while 55 million individuals gain indirect exposure via ETFs, mutual funds, and pension portfolios.
Bitcoin Purchases Funded via Bonds and Stock Issuance
MicroStrategy funds its Bitcoin acquisitions through corporate bonds and stock issuance, providing investors indirect access to Bitcoin while channeling traditional market capital into the Bitcoin market.
NASDAQ 100 inclusion by December 2024 is expected to boost capital inflows.
Julian Parra, a Bitcoin analyst, noted that 12 U.S. states (including California, Florida, and Texas) are exposed to MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin investments.
Eric Balchunas, Bloomberg ETF analyst, emphasized that institutional Bitcoin ETF flows have contributed to price stability, with $2.4 billion flowing into Bitcoin ETFs in 2024.
MicroStrategy’s strategy is driving institutional exposure to Bitcoin while increasing the stability of Bitcoin’s price through these market mechanisms.
