MicroStrategy, the business intelligence firm turned Bitcoin investment powerhouse, has kicked off 2025 with a bold move to increase its already massive cryptocurrency holdings. The company plans to raise $2 billion by issuing preferred stocks, using the funds to purchase more Bitcoin.
This initiative is part of the firm’s ambitious “21/21 plan,” which aims to raise $21 billion over the next three years through equity and fixed-income instruments. Since the plan’s introduction in October, MicroStrategy has already raised $7.5 billion.
The $2 billion stock offering will take priority over its existing class A common stock and will include options for convertibility, dividend payouts, and share redemption. While pricing details remain undecided, the offering is expected to take place in the first quarter of the year.
A Bitcoin Powerhouse
MicroStrategy’s journey into Bitcoin began in 2020, when it adopted the cryptocurrency as its primary reserve asset. Since then, the company has amassed 446,400 BTC, currently valued at approximately $43.81 billion. This makes it the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, second only to BlackRock, which holds Bitcoin on behalf of its clients.
MicroStrategy’s aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy has also turned its stock (MSTR) into a proxy for Bitcoin performance. Over the past year, MSTR has surged by an impressive 417%, reflecting the bullish momentum of Bitcoin. The company’s stock performance has even earned it a spot in the prestigious Nasdaq 100 index.
The latest fundraising effort underscores MicroStrategy’s commitment to expanding its Bitcoin holdings, further solidifying its position as a key player in the cryptocurrency space.
