MicroStrategy, led by Michael Saylor, now holds about 848,000 Bitcoin and projects a $20.9 billion digital‑asset profit for the third quarter.
MicroStrategy, the U.S.-based business‑intelligence firm chaired by Michael Saylor, announced that its Bitcoin treasury has grown to roughly 848,000 BTC, the largest corporate holding of the cryptocurrency to date. The increase reflects a series of purchases made over the past year as the company continues to treat Bitcoin as a primary reserve asset.
Saylor said the expanded position underpins a projected $20.9 billion gain from digital assets for the third quarter, a figure derived from the current market price of Bitcoin and the firm’s accounting methodology. The forecast assumes no major price volatility and aligns with the company’s long‑term view that Bitcoin will serve as a hedge against inflation.
Analysts note that the sizable exposure could amplify MicroStrategy’s earnings volatility, but also positions the firm to benefit if Bitcoin’s price sustains its upward trend. The announcement comes as other corporations remain cautious about large crypto allocations, highlighting MicroStrategy’s distinctive strategy in the Indian and global markets.
