On December 28, 2024, Michael Saylor, co-founder of MicroStrategy, sparked speculation about the company's intentions to purchase more bitcoin. Saylor posted on platform X (formerly Twitter) a reference to the SaylorTracker website, which tracks corporate holdings in bitcoin, with an enigmatic comment about "concerning blue lines." This post fueled expectations of an imminent large purchase.
As of that date, MicroStrategy owned 444,262 bitcoin, valued at approximately $41.4 billion. In October 2024, the company announced a plan to raise $42 billion over the next three years to buy more bitcoin. It also issued $3 billion convertible bonds in November 2024, maturing in 2029, to finance the purchases.
These moves demonstrate MicroStrategy's deep commitment to bitcoin as a primary investment asset, with Michael Saylor continuing to strengthen the company's strategies to increase its holdings in the digital currency.
