- MicroStrategy may expand its Bitcoin holdings beyond 600,000 BTC following Michael Saylor’s latest portfolio update.
- Bitcoin’s price rose nearly 3 percent shortly after Saylor hinted at an acquisition, reflecting strong investor reactions.
- MicroStrategy’s strategy could allow it to surpass BlackRock in total BTC holdings, nearing 3 percent of Bitcoin’s supply.
Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of MicroStrategy, has again hinted at an imminent Bitcoin acquisition. In a recent post on X, formerly Twitter, Saylor shared MicroStrategy’s public Bitcoin portfolio tracker. This post came with a brief statement, “Too much blue, not enough orange,” signaling to investors that the company may be preparing for another substantial Bitcoin buy.
The post follows MicroStrategy’s recent fundraising effort, where the company aimed to raise $84 billion through stock sales. The proceeds were planned specifically for further Bitcoin acquisitions. This financial move has added weight to investor expectations of a record-breaking purchase.
Current Holdings Near 600K BTC
According to the shared tracker, MicroStrategy currently holds 553,555 BTC, valued at approximately $52.8 billion at current prices. This represents over 2 percent of Bitcoin’s total supply. A new purchase would push the company’s total holdings closer to 600,000 BTC, reinforcing its position as the largest corporate Bitcoin holder globally.
Shortly after Saylor’s post, Bitcoin saw a nearly 3 percent price increase. This market reaction mirrored previous instances where MicroStrategy hinted at or confirmed Bitcoin acquisitions. Investors have historically treated these signals as positive indicators, often driving short-term price movement.
Eyes on Long-Term Price Targets
Bitcoin is currently trading at $95,000, after a week of relatively stable movement. Analysts suggest strong fundamentals, such as institutional accumulation, could push the price beyond $100,000. Crypto analyst Javon Marks maintains a target of $116,652, pointing to ongoing momentum in the market. Recent activity from MicroStrategy may support this upward trend.
With this expected purchase, MicroStrategy may advance in the unofficial race to control 1 million BTC, potentially surpassing financial giants like BlackRock. The company’s aggressive strategy continues to influence market dynamics and institutional interest in Bitcoin.
