The year 2025 begins with news that could significantly impact the world of cryptocurrencies. Michael Saylor, co-founder and CEO of MicroStrategy, is back in the spotlight. His recent social media post, where he noted that he is “thinking about Bitcoin,” only confirms his unwavering commitment to the cryptocurrency.
MicroStrategy, under Saylor's leadership, has long developed a strategy for active investment in Bitcoin. According to a press release issued on January 3, the company plans to raise $2 billion by issuing perpetual preferred shares for further acquisition of Bitcoin. This decision is part of an ambitious “21/21” plan that aims to significantly expand the company's assets in Bitcoin.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $98,000, which is causing some excitement in the market. The price of Bitcoin has stabilized, but analysts do not rule out the possibility of a new breakthrough. If investors can push the price above $100,000, it could lead to another test of the all-time high of $108,353.
MicroStrategy already owns 446,400 Bitcoin, worth $43.9 billion. In 2024, the company purchased 257,250 Bitcoin, the largest purchase in its history. The move is part of a strategy that includes raising $21 billion in equities and $21 billion in fixed income.
It’s clear that MicroStrategy isn’t going to rest on its laurels as it remains one of the largest corporate holders of Bitcoin. The planned capital raise could be another step on the path to further influencing the cryptocurrency market. Sailor continues to play the game, and his moves could have far-reaching consequences for the entire sector.
