With a total holding of around 132,500 BTC as of December 28, MicroStrategy has emerged as one of the few publicly traded companies that own a significant amount of Bitcoin (BTC) in addition to crypto miners. As a result, the company, which has a market valuation of $2 billion, serves as a stand-in for stockholders who want exposure to Bitcoin without actually holding it. In 2022, shares of MicroStrategy decreased by over 70%.

Even as Bitcoin prices fell, the Tysons Corner, Virginia-based company continued to be a net buyer and has taken out loans to pay for its coin acquisitions.
