Michael Saylor, co-founder of MicroStrategy, has hinted at a potential new Bitcoin acquisition following the company’s recent purchase of 27,200 Bitcoin between October 31 and November 10.
Saylor stated in a recent post on X that MicroStrategy’s portfolio tracker needs more “green dots.”

Saylor made a similar statement last Sunday, and the following day, MicroStrategy announced it had added $2 billion worth of Bitcoin to its holdings.
MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin holdings, now totaling 279,420 BTC, are valued at about $25 billion with Bitcoin trading at around $90,000. This surpasses the cash reserves of major corporations including IBM, Nike, and Johnson & Johnson, according to Bloomberg .
The world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder has achieved over $13 billion in unrealized profits from its Bitcoin investments.
MicroStrategy’s 21/21 plan and Bitcoin bank vision
MicroStrategy targets raising $42 billion over the next three years to fund its Bitcoin purchases.
The strategy, outlined in its third-quarter earnings report, is aimed at $21 billion raised through issuing new shares and another $21 billion through convertible debt or other fixed-income instruments.
Saylor shared in an October interview with Bernstein that the company’s ultimate goal is to become the leading Bitcoin bank . He and MicroStrategy are betting on a long-term bullish outlook for Bitcoin, projecting astronomical growth in the company’s valuation—potentially reaching between $300 billion and $400 billion, or even $1 trillion if Bitcoin’s value surges to millions of dollars.
MicroStrategy’s stock price has risen astronomically this year—over 430%—in line with rising Bitcoin values, Yahoo Finance data shows. Since MicroStrategy began purchasing Bitcoin in August 2020, its stock has dramatically outperformed other major stocks.
