This is the ninth consecutive weekly purchase announcement made by Bitcoin's leading corporate holder. 

MicroStrategy now won a staggering 447,470 BTC. The gargantuan Bitcoin fortune is currently valued at roughly $44.3 billion. This is more than the GDP of such countries as Nepal, El Salvador, and Cyrpus.  

As noted by Vetle Lunde of K33 Research, the announced purchase actually took place between Dec. 30 and Dec. 31. This means that this is MiroStrategy's first Bitcoin buying sabbatical in a while. "Not a single bitcoin has been absorbed by MicroStrategy in 2025 thus far," he said. 

Last week, the company announced its latest plan to raise $2 billion via a preferred stock offering. This would allow the company to purchase even more Bitcoin in the near future.
