MicroStrategy Owns 4% of Total Bitcoin Supply After New $35M Purchase

Key Facts

1Michael Saylor, chairman of MicroStrategy, posted a hint on X suggesting the firm intends to increase its Bitcoin holdings.

In a move reinforcing its aggressive digital asset accumulation strategy, MicroStrategy has officially expanded its cryptocurrency portfolio with the purchase of 520 Bitcoin for $35 million. The company confirmed that this acquisition, executed at an average price of $67,068 per coin, was funded via proceeds from a $335.5 million at-the-market (ATM) share sale. This latest purchase brings the firm's total holdings to 847,363 BTC, with an estimated market value of approximately $55 billion.

This acquisition marks a historic milestone as the company now controls more than 4% of the total 21 million Bitcoin supply cap, supported by a robust cash reserve that has hit $1.4 billion. Per market data, MSTR continues to exhibit a high correlation with Bitcoin's price action, outpacing the accumulation momentum of sector peers like Coinbase (COIN). The strategic use of equity issuance to fund BTC purchases highlights MicroStrategy's unique financial engineering compared to other institutional players.

Monitoring market levels, MicroStrategy (0A7O.L) was priced at 115.2 USD at the close of June 18, 2026. Investors should look toward the upcoming US Balance of Trade data on June 24, 2026, as a potential macro catalyst for liquidity. Meanwhile, focus remains on how the company will deploy its $1.4 billion cash position and whether it will continue to leverage share sales to increase its significant portion of the total circulating Bitcoin supply.
