MicroStrategy Ramps Up Bitcoin Efforts
MicroStrategy has had a huge November, as has the company’s stock. Michael Saylor’s company set a new personal record this week, reaching a $100B market cap. Bitcoin (BTC) is perhaps the biggest factor in this increase. BTC’s price has increased by 45% over the last month, and it is approaching the $100,000 mark for the very first time. MicroStrategy’s faith in Bitcoin has led to record-breaking gains, but the firm isn’t stopping.
MicroStrategy originally announced that it would raise $2.6B for the purpose of buying more Bitcoin. The company raised $3B instead, quickly surpassing the $2.6B target. As Bitcoin’s price continues to rise, the company intends to keep accumulating large amounts of Bitcoin. MicroStrategy BTC’s holdings will be impressive, not only because they are so large, but also due to the price. MSTR purchased each Bitcoin at about 50% of the current value. This represents a nearly 100% return.
Saylor’s Microstrategy stock is also a hot topic. MSTR currently sits at $473, after rising 9% yesterday in the hopes that Bitcoin will reach its ambitious $100K goal. The stock of this firm is surging and it may eventually reach the $500 mark.
