As Bitcoin’s price continued to climb during the first half of April, MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor announced the company had gained 17,585 bitcoin in just two weeks. Saylor noted that this bitcoin gain is the most relevant metric compared to the company’s net income under the Bitcoin Standard. According to available data, the value of these new holdings is approximately $1.309 billion.
Company performance amid bitcoin surge
MicroStrategy stands as the world’s largest corporate holder of bitcoin. Currently, the company owns 780,897 BTC in its treasury. Recent disclosures show the combined market value of MicroStrategy’s bitcoin reserves has reached $58.123 billion. With data from CryptoAppsy, bitcoin is trading at $74,431 per coin.
In its financial reports, MicroStrategy highlights BTC Gain and BTC Yield as key performance indicators. In the first week of April, the company’s BTC Yield stood at 2.3% on a quarterly basis and 5.6% since the start of the year. Analysts forecast a jump in annual yield to 22.8% in 2025.
This year, MicroStrategy has booked a total gain of 37,339 bitcoin and projects 101,873 bitcoin in gains for 2025. Since the beginning of 2024, these gains amount to $2.779 billion, with expectations reaching $8.915 billion by next year.
Bitcoin near $74,000 and average buy price
After a brief dip in early April, bitcoin has stabilized above $74,000. With MicroStrategy’s current holdings and bitcoin’s $74,431 market price, the company’s portfolio continues to attract significant global attention. Official filings show the firm’s average purchase price to date is $75,577 per bitcoin. As a result, investors are closely watching whether bitcoin can maintain its current level above this threshold.
The size of MicroStrategy’s bitcoin portfolio has become a major talking point among both financial markets and crypto investors. Amid heightened market activity, Saylor expressed his ongoing confidence on X, posting, “Millions of possibilities. One solution: BTC.”
STRC ATM liquidity fuels possible new purchases
MicroStrategy’s issuance of STRC ATM (at-the-market) shares generated over $1.76 billion in liquidity this week. Real-time figures tracked by Bitcoin Quant suggest this capital could allow the company to acquire approximately 23,934 additional bitcoin. If the planned purchases go through, MicroStrategy’s total bitcoin stash would rise to 804,831 BTC.
Earlier this month, MicroStrategy acquired 13,927 bitcoin at an average price of $71,902, investing nearly $1 billion. These April purchases, coming after a pause in late March, reinforce the company’s commitment to its bitcoin accumulation strategy.
In connection with the STRC program, MicroStrategy purchased a combined $1.3 billion worth of bitcoin in April. Investors also responded positively, driving the company’s stock higher in recent sessions.
On Tuesday, MicroStrategy’s U.S.-listed shares (MSTR) closed 3.82% higher at $137.41, and rose a further 1.28% in Wednesday’s pre-market session to $139.17.
