MicroStrategy’s 7 biggest bitcoin purchases total $62B
MicroStrategy holds 815,061 BTC (about 3.9% of 21M), worth roughly $62B after seven large purchases, including 55,500 BTC on Nov. 25, 2024 and 34,200 BTC on April 20, 2026.
MicroStrategy, based in Tysons Corner, Virginia, holds 815,061 bitcoin, about 3.9% of the fixed 21 million supply. At recent prices above $75,000 per coin, the stake is worth roughly $62 billion. The company made seven large disclosed buys that make up that total.
MicroStrategy’s largest single disclosed purchase occurred on Nov. 25, 2024, when it acquired 55,500 BTC at an average price of $97,862, spending about $5.4 billion. After the company announced the purchase, bitcoin traded down roughly $4,000 to under $94,000, about 4% below the average price of that lot.
One week earlier, on Nov. 18, 2024, MicroStrategy bought 51,780 BTC at an average of $88,627 for roughly $4.6 billion. Bitcoin dipped shortly after that announcement, then rebounded to a daily high near $92,653 and reached a new intraday high above $94,000 the following day. That buy brought the company’s holdings at the time to 331,200 BTC.
On April 20, 2026, MicroStrategy added 34,200 BTC at an average price of $74,395, spending about $2.54 billion and taking its total above 815,000 BTC. The company reported that this purchase was funded largely by cash raised through its dividend-paying preferred share, Stretch (STRC). After the April announcement bitcoin traded modestly higher, above $75,900 on April 21.
MicroStrategy’s Dec. 21, 2020 purchase of 29,646 BTC at an average cost of $21,925 cost about $650 million. Bitcoin’s price was largely unchanged in the 24 hours surrounding that disclosure.
The company reported a 27,200 BTC buy on Nov. 11, 2024 at an average price of $74,463, costing roughly $2.03 billion for coins acquired between Oct. 31 and Nov. 10. Following the Nov. 11 announcement, bitcoin rose more than 10% and closed the day at $88,637.
MicroStrategy purchased 22,337 BTC on March 16, 2026 at an average price of $70,194, spending about $1.57 billion. That acquisition was tied to fundraising through STRC; bitcoin traded above the purchase average on the same day, briefly exceeding $75,000 before retreating below $70,000 in subsequent days.
On Jan. 20, 2026 the company bought 22,305 BTC at an average price of $95,284 for about $2.1 billion. In the days after that disclosure bitcoin fell to around $90,000 and at one point to about $87,650, more than 8% below the average paid for that tranche.
MicroStrategy has used different funding sources across its purchases. Early buys were financed in part with convertible notes. Larger recent purchases have been funded with cash raised through Stretch (STRC), a dividend-paying preferred share the company issues or pays dividends on and then uses proceeds to buy bitcoin when certain thresholds are met.
Co-founder and executive chairman Michael Saylor has posted purchase updates on social media. In November 2024 he wrote that the company held 386,700 BTC acquired for about $21.9 billion at roughly $56,761 per bitcoin.
