MicroStrategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, has announced a significant addition to its cryptocurrency reserves, acquiring 11,000 BTC.
In a statement released on Jan. 21, the company confirmed the purchase, which totaled $1.1 billion. The acquisition was made at an average price of $101,191 per Bitcoin and occurred between Jan. 13 and Jan. 20, just days before former President Donald Trump’s inauguration.
As with its previous Bitcoin acquisitions, the company funded the purchase through proceeds from convertible notes sales, continuing its strategic investment approach.
The latest purchase brings MicroStrategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to an impressive 461,000 BTC, acquired at an average price of $63,610 per Bitcoin for a cumulative investment of $29.3 billion. Co-founder Michael Saylor shared the update on the social media platform X, highlighting the company’s commitment to Bitcoin as a key asset.
On Jan. 19, Saylor hinted at the upcoming purchase, a pattern that often precedes MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin acquisitions.
This marks the company’s largest Bitcoin purchase of 2025 and its third this month. With 14,600 BTC acquired year-to-date, MicroStrategy has achieved a 1.69% BTC yield, according to Saylor.
Saylor Advocates for a National Bitcoin Reserve
The timing of MicroStrategy’s latest move aligns with growing speculation about the potential establishment of a Bitcoin reserve under President Trump’s administration. Although no formal announcements were made on Trump’s first day in office, industry insiders believe cryptocurrency could become a focus in the near future.
Betting platform Kalshi suggests a 66% probability that Trump will follow through on earlier campaign promises to create a national Bitcoin reserve.
Michael Saylor has been a vocal advocate for such an initiative. In December, he proposed a framework for the United States to adopt digital assets strategically, suggesting that acquiring and holding Bitcoin could enhance the country’s economic position.
“A forward-thinking digital asset strategy could strengthen the US dollar, address national debt, and solidify America’s leadership in the global digital economy,” Saylor stated on X.
He further estimated that implementing such a policy could generate $16 trillion to $81 trillion in wealth for the US Treasury as Bitcoin continues to grow in value.
