MicroStrategy books massive profit on Bitcoin investment

MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor looks back on a remarkable transformation of his company. In October 2022, the company was in troubled waters. While Bitcoin was then trading around $20.000. MicroStrategy held 130,000 Bitcoin worth approximately $2.6 billion. The share was trading at around $24 (split adjusted), but the debts were proportionally high.

Bitcoin is available at OKX and Bybit.

From debt crisis to billions in reserves

Saylor describes a period full of uncertainty. Weeks after he gave his speech, Bitcoin dropped below $16.000 and the mountain of debt grew. MicroStrategy’s debts at that time exceeded the combined value of Bitcoin and cash reserves by approximately $300 million. The stock itself even fell to $13 by the end of that year.

Instead of panicking, MicroStrategy chose persistence. The company strengthened its position and continued the set strategy. This turned out to be the right choice. Since that dark period in 2022, the company has raised more than $60 billion in additional capital and invested it entirely in Bitcoin. This resulted in an addition of more than 716,000 Bitcoin to its holdings.

Record growth in assets and valuation

The numbers speak for themselves. Today, MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin and USD reserves exceed its debts by approximately $48 billion. This marks an incredible turnaround compared to the situation in 2022. Saylor thanks both the employees and external supporters who have maintained the long-term perspective and weathered the dips.

The Bitcoin market is currently in motion. The price stands at $63K with a 2% increase in the past 24 hours. This contributes to the strong image of MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin accumulation strategy, especially now that miners are operating below production costs and the market continues to oscillate.
