MicroStrategy’s Mind‑Boggling $84B Bitcoin Bid: Saylor Bets the House Again! 🚀💸

by
  • Strategy’s wild Bitcoin quest: $56B still to magically materialize from the ether.
  • MSTR flexed and doubled Bitcoin gains during Q2 2025. Overachievers, really.

Let’s set the scene: you’re Michael Saylor, your caffeine’s kicked in, and your modest ambition to own literally all of the world’s Bitcoin has just doubled overnight, much like the size of your financial commitment. In a masterstroke of, well, something, Strategy (it’s MicroStrategy, but with more… strategy?) declared they’re cranking up their Bitcoin buy plan to an absolutely jaw-dropping $84 billion. Yes, billion, with a B, because apparently “crypto winter” just means double the sweaters and double the debt.

Michael Saylor, notorious for his subtlety (sarcasm detector: critical), dashed onto X to update the world. How’s he going to find that kind of money? Naturally: stocks, stocks again, and a bit of debt for good measure.

“MSTR announces BTC Yield of 13.7% and BTC $ Gain of $5.8B year-to-date, doubles capital plan to $42B equity and $42B fixed income to purchase Bitcoin.”

Now Featuring: The Improbably Dramatic 42/42 Plan

Remember their last plan, the mind-numbingly aggressive 21/21? Cute, right? Now it’s 42/42, and honestly, Douglas Adams would be proud (or confused). So far, they’ve raised $28 billion, and only just have another $56 billion to go. Easy. That’s only a small multi-national conglomerate or two.

For those keeping track, it’s stocks everywhere (MSTR, STRK, STRF), convertible notes aplenty, and yes, there’s even a cheeky $21B stock sale already announced. Can you smell the legal paperwork? I sure can.

Should every cosmic force align and this mountain of cash gets shovelled straight into Bitcoin, we might just see the price flap around like a startled pigeon at a bread festival. 👛

Strategy’s current digital piggybank contains 553,555 BTC. That’s not a typo. It’s the most public Bitcoin held by any company ever, and represents 2.63% of the entire max supply. Michael Saylor may soon be on first-name terms with Satoshi’s ghost.

Analysts aren’t so sure the shopping spree will continue unchecked, though. Why? Because apparently, stock volatility (or lack thereof) matters. Turns out you can’t just borrow infinite sums against a stock that’s decided to politely take a nap instead of do its usual trampoline impression.

“Interesting how subdued $MSTR implied vol remains relative to Nov melt up given streak and spot $400. At a macro level, without IV rising, harder to issue more leverage. At a micro level, also implies sticky strike dynamics.”

Still, MSTR shareholders had better have seatbelts: from April’s lows of $240 to a robust $380, that stock is up 60%. Bitcoin, meanwhile, did what it does best—bounced 28% because reasons, notching $97K for the first time since February. MSTR didn’t just keep up—it did laps around BTC with twice the gusto.

To sum up: Saylor’s not just doubling down, he’s gone all-in, borrowed money from the Monopoly box, and is now eyeballing your wallet too. Don’t worry though, if this all works, we might get to see him buy Mars.
