Michael Saylor, a famous business leader and Bitcoin supporter, has a company called MicroStrategy. This company is listed on NASDAQ, which is a large American stock exchange (learn more about NASDAQ). MicroStrategy has been buying Bitcoin heavily, especially since the US elections in 2024 (learn about the elections).
On Monday, MicroStrategy bought more Bitcoin—1,229 BTC, to be exact—after Saylor gave a hint about it the day before. The company spent around $108.8 million, paying about $88,568 for each Bitcoin. Just to be clear, Bitcoin is a digital currency that allows people to make payments directly to each other without needing a bank (learn about Bitcoin).
So far, this brings MicroStrategy’s total Bitcoin ownership to 672,497 BTC. They have spent about $50.44 billion in total to buy all of this Bitcoin. On average, they bought each Bitcoin for $74,997.
Michael Saylor shared the news on Twitter, saying: “Strategy has acquired 1,229 BTC for ~$108.8 million at ~$88,568 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 23.2% YTD 2025.” YTD means “year-to-date,” which refers to the time between the start of the year and now (learn about YTD). He also mentioned, “As of 12/28/2025, we hodl 672,497 $BTC acquired for ~$50.44 billion at ~$74,997 per bitcoin.” The term “hodl” is often used in the cryptocurrency world to mean holding onto your coins instead of selling them quickly.
Before the US elections last year, MicroStrategy owned 252,220 BTC. That number has nearly tripled since 2024. The company has been steadily building up its Bitcoin collection.
However, despite buying so much Bitcoin, MicroStrategy’s stock price has been struggling. At the beginning of 2025, the stock price was about $300. It climbed above $400 at one point and even got close to $500. But the crypto market corrected itself, meaning prices went down after a period of being very high. This correction caused MicroStrategy’s stock, which trades under the ticker symbol MSTR (learn about MicroStrategy), to drop by 47% this year. By Friday, the stock price was under $160.
MicroStrategy is known not only as a software company but also as one of the biggest supporters of Bitcoin. Despite its stock struggles, it continues to buy BTC, showing its belief in the long-term value of the cryptocurrency.
The company’s move to buy more Bitcoin at the end of the year marks another key development in the cryptocurrency world. Investors and crypto enthusiasts will likely watch closely to see what Michael Saylor and MicroStrategy do next.
