Strategy Resumes Spending Billions on Bitcoin. How Its Reserve Has Grown
MicroStrategy, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, has significantly increased its reserves, purchasing nearly $2 billion worth of Bitcoin in the first half of December. On December 15, the company reported buying 10,645 BTC for $980.3 million, following a $962.7 million purchase the previous week. This brings its total holdings to 671,268 BTC, representing over 3% of Bitcoin's total supply. Since 2020, MicroStrategy has spent approximately $50.33 billion on Bitcoin, with an average purchase price of $74,972 per BTC.
The company funded these acquisitions primarily through the issuance of additional MSTR shares and other preferred shares. Despite its stock trading 53% below its July peak, MicroStrategy continues its strategy of accumulating Bitcoin using debt and equity financing.
Additionally, MicroStrategy has established a $1.4 billion dollar reserve to cover investor obligations, a move analysts interpret as preparation for a potential "crypto winter." This strategy has inspired other companies, termed Digital Asset Treasuries (DAT), such as BitMine—the largest corporate holder of Ethereum—which also reported increasing its ETH reserves to 3.97 million coins.
