MicroStrategy Hits Pause on Bitcoin Buys After 10 Consecutive Purchases

After 10 consecutive Bitcoin purchases by MicroStrategy, this week marked a pause, with Michael Saylor not announcing any new acquisitions.

As of January 20th, 2025, MicroStrategyโ€™s Bitcoin holdings have reached 450,000 BTC, acquired at a cumulative cost of around $28.2 billion, with an average acquisition price of $62,691 per Bitcoin.

Michael Saylorโ€™s Vision and Latest Moves

Michael Saylor continues to demonstrate unwavering commitment to Bitcoin, signaling potential for another purchase. His cryptic social media post, โ€œThings will be different tomorrow,โ€ coincides with President-elect Donald Trumpโ€™s inauguration. His public endorsement and continued accumulation of Bitcoin are seen as a signal of confidence in the cryptocurrencyโ€™s long-term value.

Bitcoin Price Today Hit New ATH

On January 20, 2025, Bitcoin reached an all-time high of $109,225 per Bitcoin, driven by a combination of market optimism, launch of Trump-themed memecoins, as well as President Donald Trump’s inauguration.ย 

Total liquidations in the cryptocurrency market reached $1.25 billion in 24 hours, indicating the day’s severe market volatility. Bitcoin led the way, with $264 million in liquidations.

The soaring price of Bitcoin has been a major factor in boosting the value of MicroStrategyโ€™s holdings. For MicroStrategy, the skyrocketing price of Bitcoin has directly translated into increased profits. The companyโ€™s decision to hold such a large amount of Bitcoin means that it stands to benefit significantly from the appreciation of the cryptocurrency. 

Donald Trumpโ€™s Inauguration

January 20, 2025, also marked the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States. Trump, who has been an advocate of pro-business policies, is expected to bring a favorable stance toward cryptocurrencies, which has fueled optimism in the markets.

Trumpโ€™s inauguration coincided with Bitcoinโ€™s price surge, which some analysts attribute to the political shift and anticipated regulatory developments that could benefit the cryptocurrency market.

Outlook

MicroStrategyโ€™s strategic accumulation of Bitcoin, coupled with Michael Saylorโ€™s leadership, underscores the companyโ€™s commitment to digital assets.

The recent surge in Bitcoinโ€™s price and the inauguration of a pro-crypto president may further influence the companyโ€™s investment decisions and the broader cryptocurrency market.
