MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin investment has been profitable, with the firm now up at least $614 per coin. The gain is due to the recent surge in the price of Bitcoin, which has broken through the $33,000 mark. The company’s paper profits from its Bitcoin holdings have soared to approximately $614 million, an increase of about 13% from the original investment.

MicroStrategy Bitcoin Profit Is Growing

MicroStrategy’s approach to Bitcoin investment is unique, as the company has raised funds to purchase the cryptocurrency multiple times. In 2023, the company acquired 5,444 BTC by raising an equivalent amount of capital, following the approach that saw the company buy about 12,333 BTC by raising funds earlier this year. This strategy has allowed MicroStrategy to acquire more Bitcoin while maintaining its liquidity and balance sheet.

The co-founder and chairman of MicroStrategy, Michael Saylor, has been a vocal advocate of Bitcoin as a store of value. He has shared data demonstrating Bitcoin’s outperformance compared to traditional assets since the company adopted its cryptocurrency-buying strategy. Saylor has also been open about his belief that Bitcoin is a hedge against inflation, and he plans to continue investing in the cryptocurrency in the long term.
