MicroStrategy, the software company known for its aggressive Bitcoin purchases, has temporarily halted its weekly acquisitions of the cryptocurrency. The pause comes ahead of the company's earnings report and follows a 12-week streak of significant Bitcoin purchases.
In a statement on X (formerly Twitter), MicroStrategy's co-founder and chairman, Michael Saylor, confirmed the halt in purchases. "Last week, MicroStrategy did not sell any shares of class A common stock under its at-the-market equity offering program, and did not purchase any Bitcoin," he wrote.
Despite the pause, MicroStrategy still holds a substantial amount of Bitcoin. As of February 2, 2025, the company holds 471,107 BTC, acquired for approximately $30.4 billion at an average price of around $64,511 per Bitcoin.
MicroStrategy's Bitcoin purchases have been a significant part of its strategy in recent months. The company announced a "21/21 Plan" last year, aiming to raise $42 billion to buy Bitcoin. The plan involves raising $21 billion via equity and another $21 billion through fixed income securities.
The company's stock has soared since it first announced its Bitcoin purchases in August 2020. On that day, MicroStrategy stock was trading for $14.44, and it is now trading for approximately $332, marking a staggering 2,199% increase.
MicroStrategy's aggressive Bitcoin purchases have raised questions about the company's future plans. The temporary halt in purchases signals a strategic rethink, and investors and industry watchers will be keen to see how the company balances its investment strategy amid evolving cryptocurrency dynamics.
