#MicroStrategyAcquiresBTC MicroStrategy is an American company known for its significant investments in Bitcoin. In August 2020, the company first purchased $250 million worth of Bitcoin as a reserve asset, citing declining cash yields and a weakening US dollar. Since then, MicroStrategy has continued to actively buy Bitcoin, and as of December 8, 2024, it owned 423,650 Bitcoins worth $42.43 billion, making it the largest corporate holder of the asset. 

This strategy has turned MicroStrategy into a kind of “Bitcoin fund”, which is reflected in the price of its shares. As of January 29, 2025, MicroStrategy shares (MSTR) are trading at $340.60, up 1.39% from the previous close. The price of Bitcoin on the same day is $102,492, which is 0.22% less than the previous day.

Some analysts believe that in the long term, a significant part of Bitcoin may end up in the ownership of MicroStrategy.  Others note that the company not only holds Bitcoin, but also actively trades it, selling at price peaks and buying at dips.
