Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of software intelligence firm Microstrategy (Nasdaq: MSTR), highlighted the company’s bitcoin investment performance in a post on social media platform X Tuesday. He wrote:

Last week, MSTR treasury operations resulted in a BTC Yield of .72%, a net benefit of ~3,177 BTC. At $94K per BTC, that equates to a $299 million gift to our shareholders.

This announcement underscores the firm’s aggressive strategy of leveraging equity and debt to acquire BTC, aiming to enhance shareholder value through what Saylor terms “BTC Yield.” Microstrategy has been actively raising capital to fund its bitcoin acquisitions. In October, the company unveiled its “21/21 Plan,” intending to raise $21 billion in equity and $21 billion in fixed-income securities over the next three years to purchase additional bitcoin. As of December 2024, Microstrategy hodls approximately 444,262 bitcoins. This substantial holding has positioned Microstrategy as the world’s largest corporate holder of bitcoin.

The company’s stock performance has been closely tied to bitcoin’s market value. In 2024, Microstrategy’s shares have surged approximately 400%, reflecting investor enthusiasm for its bitcoin-centric strategy. Moreover, MSTR has been added to the Nasdaq-100. While recent fluctuations in bitcoin’s price have led to corresponding declines in Microstrategy’s stock, Saylor remains steadfast in his belief in the cryptocurrency’s long-term value proposition.

Saylor has consistently promoted bitcoin as a superior store of value over traditional assets like gold, urging its adoption as a treasury reserve asset. He projects bitcoin could reach $49 million by 2045 in a bullish scenario, with base and bearish estimates at $13 million and $3 million. The executive chairman views BTC as crucial to reshaping the global financial system, positioning it as a hedge against inflation and a tool for wealth preservation. Comparing bitcoin to “cyber Manhattan,” he emphasizes its resilience against asset devaluation and its strategic role in economic growth.
