MicroStrategy Stops Buying Bitcoin – What’s Next?

MicroStrategy has made headlines again, but this time not for another mammoth Bitcoin acquisition. The company, known for its aggressive accumulation strategy, has temporarily put the brakes on its Bitcoin buying spree after 12 straight weeks of purchase.

Some analysts believe a strategy change may be in the works, but others suspect this pause will be very brief and that the company intends to start accumulating Bitcoin once again.

Bitcoin Buying: An Impressive Run Ends

The company’s last purchases brought its total Bitcoin ownership to nearly $45 billion, making it by far the largest company that owns Bitcoin. MicroStrategy is reviewing its treasury management strategy with respect to acquiring more Bitcoin for its reserve, including possible regulatory implications.

The choice to pause comes from growing speculation that the company is changing its approach due to market conditions. Bitcoin is very important to MicroStrategy, but things like managing cash flow, how their stock is doing, and efforts to raise money might be impacting their buying mindset in the short term.

Last week, MicroStrategy did not sell any shares of class A common stock under its at-the-market equity offering program, and did not purchase any bitcoin. As of 2/2/2025, we hodl 471,107 $BTC acquired for ~$30.4 billion at ~$64,511 per bitcoin. $MSTR https://t.co/QTBWl8KlNv

Capital-Raising Plans In Motion

MicroStrategy has been investigating several approaches to generate funds to support its Bitcoin purchase proposal. The company apparently intends to create up to $42 billion via a range of financial instruments including preferred stock sales, convertible debt offers, and at-the-market stock sales. These tactics might improve the company’s financial situation and provide the required cash for next Bitcoin transactions.

To buy even more Bitcoin, the company last week proposed a $250 million preferred share sale. It sold about 7.3 million shares of the series a few days later, more than doubling that sum.

MicroStrategy is still experiencing trouble with traditional finance but is adamant about its view of Bitcoin. Over time, market shakiness, investor concern, and regulatory uncertainty could all shift and result in a more wary view of the business approaching important decisions in not too distant future.

Strategic Changes And Tax Implications

Increased tax burdens may be a real weight on the minds of management when it comes time to make a decision about stopping acquisitions entirely. The company may be facing crushing tax bills on unrealized Bitcoin gains, which may amount to over $19 billion. Financial planning has to happen to deal with tax obligations that will keep the company on its Bitcoin course.

Since its recent inclusion in the NASDAQ 100 index, MicroStrategy is under different rules and regulations such as blackout periods, which can sometimes prevent insider trading from occurring. This may be another reason Bitcoin sales are being held back.

MicroStrategy’s Plans Going Forward?

While this pause might raise questions, there is little indication that MicroStrategy is stepping away from its Bitcoin-centric strategy. The company’s history suggests that any break in its buying spree is likely strategic rather than a sign of reduced confidence in Bitcoin. If anything, this could be a period of recalibration, allowing MicroStrategy to optimize its resources before resuming its Bitcoin accumulation.
