Two major corporate Bitcoin holders, MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:MSTR) and Japan-based Metaplanet, are set to expand their Bitcoin reserves significantly in 2025, highlighting their continued commitment to the cryptocurrency.
MicroStrategy on Monday announced the acquisition of 1,070 BTC for $101 million at an average price of $94,004 per Bitcoin.
This brings its total holdings to 447,470 Bitcoin acquired for ~$27.97 billion at ~$62,503 per Bitcoin.
The volume of the company's recent purchases has tapered: while MicroStrategy on Dec. 9 announced having purchased 21,550 Bitcoin, the volume steadily declined each week to 2,138 Bitcoin on Dec. 30 and 1,070 Bitcoin on Monday.
MicroStrategy has plans to raise up to $2 billion through preferred stock offerings in the first quarter of 2025.
This capital will fund additional Bitcoin purchases as part of its "21/21 Plan," which outlines a strategy to secure $21 billion in equity and $21 billion in fixed-income instruments over the next three years.
