MicroStrategy Now Holds 2.8% of All Bitcoin
MicroStrategy’s holdings now constitute more than 2.8% of Bitcoin’s total supply, capped at 21 million coins, reflecting unrealized gains estimated at around $21.6 billion based on current market valuations.
This year, MicroStrategy has procured 88,062 BTC for about $9.8 billion, a notable increase from the 140,538 BTC valued at $13 billion acquired in 2024, according to company reports.
The firm’s Bitcoin yield has achieved a rate of 19.7%, with 7.8% accrued during the second quarter, bringing it closer to its goal of a 25% yield by the end of 2025.
The timing of these purchases appeared to align with market expectations, as Saylor often hints at Bitcoin acquisitions via social media on Sundays.
On June 29, he updated his Bitcoin portfolio tracker, stating, “In 21 years, you’ll wish you’d bought more,” in reference to his keynote address at BTC Prague, where he suggested Bitcoin could scale to $21 million per coin in the next two decades.

Bitcoin Nears $109K Milestone, Potential Liquidity Squeeze Ahead
Bitcoin saw slight gains over the weekend, climbing as much as 3% to reach $108,798 on Sunday, buoyed by a broader momentum in the cryptocurrency space.
As Bitcoin approached the $108,000 mark, analysts, including MN Capital’s Michael van de Poppe, indicated a possible brief retracement before a push towards new all-time highs.

Technical analysis highlights $109,000 as a crucial resistance point on Bitcoin’s four-hour chart. “This is the area we need to break in order to have upward momentum,” van de Poppe remarked.
CoinGlass data shows a concentrated spike in trading interest around key price levels, indicating significant bid activity below current prices alongside resistance clusters above the $109,000 range.
Over $48.7 million in liquidity is positioned at $109,500.
If Bitcoin breaks through the liquidity levels between $110,000 and $112,300, it could instigate a short squeeze, potentially pushing the cryptocurrency into price discovery mode and leading to unprecedented highs.
