Michael Saylor’s aggressive Bitcoin strategy is back in the spotlight as MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin holdings hit a staggering 555,450 BTC. With Bitcoin currently trading above $104,500, the firm’s Bitcoin portfolio now boasts a value of over $58.15 billion — a jaw-dropping $20 billion in unrealized profit, marking one of the largest gains in corporate history tied to a single crypto asset.
MicroStrategy’s average cost per Bitcoin stands at $68,569.45, positioning the company up by more than 52.67% on its BTC investment. The massive gain has propelled MicroStrategy’s stock (MSTR) to $416.03, while its market cap has surged past $113.74 billion. The net asset value (NAV) premium now stands at 1.96x, with BTC per-share value estimated at $229.13, based on approximately 253.76 million shares outstanding.
Saylor’s bet on Bitcoin began in 2020 when he steered MicroStrategy from being a traditional enterprise software firm to the largest corporate Bitcoin holder. His strategy, widely seen as risky at the time, has not only transformed MicroStrategy’s financial landscape but also ignited discussions across corporate boardrooms about integrating cryptocurrency into treasury management.

While Saylor’s bold move has paid off so far, the $20 billion gain remains unrealized and subject to Bitcoin’s notorious volatility. Still, the impact is undeniable: MicroStrategy has effectively become the blueprint for corporate Bitcoin adoption, with other companies now questioning whether they should follow Saylor’s lead or steer clear of crypto’s unpredictability.
As Bitcoin continues to hover above $104,500, Saylor’s strategy serves as both a case study in high-stakes crypto investing and a potential turning point in how major corporations view Bitcoin’s role as a store of value. The question now is not just whether Saylor’s gamble will continue to pay off, but whether other corporate giants will replicate his audacious play.
