MicroStrategy, a software company headed by Michael Saylor, has seen a massive return on its Bitcoin investment. With a portfolio of 226,331 BTC tokens, acquired over four years for $8.37 billion, the company is projected to make a profit of $2.94 trillion. This represents a staggering 79% gain, considering Bitcoin’s current value of $66,282.
MicroStrategy has been consistently purchasing Bitcoin since September 2020, when it first acquired 16,797 BTC for $175 million. This initial investment alone is now worth over $1.11 billion, with a profit of $938 million, a 535% increase.
In June, the company purchased an additional 11,931 BTC for $786 million, raising a profit of $4.81 million in just over a month. However, some investments made during Bitcoin’s all-time high rally in March have resulted in losses of over $36 million.
Despite the recent price retracement of Bitcoin, Saylor remains optimistic about the future of the cryptocurrency. During a presentation at the 2024 Bitcoin Conference, he predicted that Bitcoin’s price would reach $13 million per coin by 2045. At this projected price, Bitcoin’s market cap would surpass the combined market caps of Gold, Apple, and Microsoft, amounting to $273 trillion.
In this scenario, MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin portfolio would be valued at $2.94 trillion, a significant increase from its original investment of $8 billion. Saylor even believes that, in a bearish scenario, Bitcoin would still be worth $3 million per coin by 2045, and in a bullish scenario, it could reach an astonishing $40 million per coin.
