Michael Saylor, co-founder and executive chairman of MicroStrategy, has made no secret of his strong belief in Bitcoin. For him, Bitcoin isn’t just a digital currency—it’s a long-term asset that could transform the future of finance.
As MicroStrategy continues to expand its Bitcoin Reserves, its strategy is becoming a focal point in the battle for crypto dominance.
But what happens when another major player—like Donald Trump—sets its sights on the same prize?
MicroStrategy’s bold “21/21 Plan” aims to raise $21 billion through stock offerings and another $21 billion through loans and other financial tools over the next three years. Since launching in October 2024, the company has already purchased 194,180 Bitcoin—almost halfway to its target. These Bitcoin holdings are currently valued at $19 billion.
As of January 3, 2025, MicroStrategy owns 446,400 Bitcoin, valued at about $43.7 billion. This substantial holding has generated unrealized gains of $16 billion. Additionally, MicroStrategy’s stock (MSTR) outperformed Bitcoin itself in 2024 and was recently added to the Nasdaq index.
Shareholder Approval on the Way?
In early 2025, MicroStrategy plans to launch a $2 billion stock offering, depending on market conditions. The company is also seeking shareholder approval to significantly increase the number of shares it can issue. This includes raising the common stock limit from 330 million to 10.3 billion and the preferred stock limit from 5 million to 1 billion. A shareholder meeting will be held to vote on these changes.
MicroStrategy’s plan to raise more capital and buy more Bitcoin shows its strong belief in the future of cryptocurrency. Recently, the company filed with the SEC to seek approval for issuing billions of new shares to fund its Bitcoin acquisition strategy.
Trump’s bullish stance on Bitcoin could have a significant impact on the market. If he succeeds in his first 100 days back in office, it could give Bitcoin a major boost. Following Trump’s 2024 win, Bitcoin surged to $100,000, and analysts expect this upward trend to continue, despite some short-term pullbacks.
2025 is shaping up to be a year to remember for Bitcoin!
MicroStrategy’s 21/21 Plan aims to raise $42 billion to buy Bitcoin, with $21B from stocks and $21B through loans over 3 years.
As of January 3, 2025, MicroStrategy owns 446,400 Bitcoin, worth approximately $43.7 billion, gaining $16 billion in unrealized profits.
Trump’s push for a Bitcoin Reserve may create competition for MicroStrategy, influencing Bitcoin market dynamics and potentially boosting prices.
