MicroStrategy To Raise $84 Billion To Buy More BTC

In an X post, Michael Saylor announced that MicroStrategy has doubled its capital plan to $42 billion in equity and $42 billion in fixed income to purchase more Bitcoin. The company has also announced a BTC yield of 13.7% and a BTC gain of $5.8 billion year-to-date (YTD). Meanwhile, it plans to increase its BTC yield target from 15% to 25% and BTC gain target from $10 billion to $15 billion for 2025.

The company, now known as Strategy, currently holds 553,555 BTC, which it acquired at a total cost of $37.90 billion and at an average price of $68,459 per bitcoin. As Coingape reported, Strategy acquired 15,355 Bitcoin for $1.42 billion last week at an average price of $92,737 per BTC.

MicroStrategy ramped up its Bitcoin Strategy towards the end of last year, regularly purchasing BTC every week from November to the end of the year. The firm has continued the buying streak this year, having purchased BTC almost every week since the start of 2025.

As a result, Saylor and his company currently hold over 2% of Bitcoin’s total circulating supply and are the public company with the largest BTC holdings. BlackRock is the only other institutional investor that ranks ahead of Strategy. The world’s largest asset manager currently holds around 570,000 BTC in assets under management (AuM).

As part of its $84 billion capital raise, Strategy has announced a new $21 billion at-the-market (ATM) common stock equity offering. The company has already raised about $6.6 billion through the issuance and sale of its Class A common stock.
