This move further cements the company’s status as a significant player in the digital asset market.

MicroStrategy Keeps Adding to Its Bitcoin Portfolio

This latest acquisition, amounting to $7.8 million, brings MicroStrategy’s holdings to a significant 214,400 BTC, now valued at over $15.2 billion. Since its initial $250 million investment in August 2020, MicroStrategy has consistently expanded its Bitcoin portfolio, strategically accumulating approximately 1% of the total Bitcoin supply.

This deliberate accumulation of Bitcoin is a cornerstone of MicroStrategy’s treasury strategy, demonstrating its firm commitment to the cryptocurrency as a core investment. In 2024, the company’s strategic initiative remained steadfast. As per its first-quarter earnings report, MicroStrategy acquired around 25,250 BTC for $1.65 billion at an average price of $65,232 per BTC. Notably, this marks the 14th consecutive quarter in which the company has bolstered its balance sheet with Bitcoin.

Despite a 5.5% decline in overall revenue to $115.2 million in the first quarter, MicroStrategy’s focus on crypto assets remains resolute. The revenue decrease was even more pronounced when adjusted for constant currency, indicating a 5.7% drop.

Nonetheless, the company continued its Bitcoin investments despite a net loss of $53.1 million for the quarter, largely impacted by a $191.6 million impairment loss on its Bitcoin holdings.

Operating expenses for the company surged by 152.8% to $288.9 million, primarily driven by costs related to its Bitcoin investments. Despite these challenges, MicroStrategy’s subscription services revenue showed growth and resilience, increasing by 22% year-over-year to $23.0 million.

This uptick underscores a positive market response to its cloud-native software solutions.
