Mar 2, 2024
According to recent reports, MicroStrategy, under the leadership of chairman Michael Saylor, has indeed solidified its position as one of the most prominent players in the cryptocurrency space. Since 2020, the company has acquired approximately 193,000 Bitcoins, establishing itself as the largest institutional holder of BTC globally. Saylor's bold investment strategy has significantly paid off, with MicroStrategy witnessing tremendous gains as Bitcoin surged in value. A recent filing with the SEC revealed that from February 15 to 25, the company purchased an additional 3,000 Bitcoins, bringing its total holdings to 193,000 Bitcoins with an average cost basis of $31,544 per Bitcoin, totaling just under $6.1 billion. As Bitcoin soared to a peak of $63,918 on February 28th, MicroStrategy's holdings reached a staggering value of $12.3 billion, more than doubling its initial investment. Saylor, the largest shareholder in MicroStrategy with over 2.4 million shares, also holds at least 17,732 Bitcoins personally. The remarkable 25% increase in Bitcoin's price over the 3-day period from February 26-28 translated into profits of approximately $230 million from Saylor's personal Bitcoin holdings and an impressive $984 million from his MicroStrategy shares. Combining these gains, Saylor saw his total assets surge by over $1.2 billion in just three days. Despite these remarkable gains, Saylor remains steadfast in his commitment to Bitcoin, expressing no intention to sell his holdings anytime soon.
