Bitcoin Strategy and Market Position
The company’s Bitcoin treasury strategy has generated over $21.8 billion in unrealized capital gains. MicroStrategy is up over 52% on its Bitcoin investment, demonstrating the success of its accumulation approach.
Saylor has repeatedly rejected the idea of selling Bitcoin, describing the cryptocurrency as “the exit strategy.” He has stated that selling Bitcoin would damage trust with the broader community and that supporters would go “ballistic” if this happened.
MicroStrategy has only sold Bitcoin once in its history. The company sold 704 BTC on December 22, 2022, for tax-loss harvesting purposes but bought back 810 BTC for around $13.6 million two days later.
Analysts continue to debate whether MicroStrategy’s rapid Bitcoin accumulation will trigger a supply shock. Some believe this could drive Bitcoin prices higher due to reduced available supply.
Corporate Bitcoin Treasury Risks
Market participants have raised concerns about the sustainability of corporate Bitcoin treasury models. Some worry about companies that finance Bitcoin purchases with debt and equity, particularly newer entrants to the space.
A recent report from venture capital firm Breed suggests only a handful of Bitcoin treasury companies will survive if Bitcoin prices drop. The report notes that newer treasury companies face higher risks due to tougher capital raising terms.

MicroStrategy has a higher chance of surviving market downturns due to its size and Bitcoin holdings. The company weathered the previous bear market while maintaining its accumulation strategy.
The report indicates that MicroStrategy’s discipline during bear markets will be the hallmark behavior of successful Bitcoin treasury companies. This approach has helped establish the company’s market position.
Market analyst Jeff Walton recently predicted MicroStrategy has a 91% chance of joining the S&P 500 in Q2 2025. The S&P 500 tracks the 500 largest companies listed on the US stock market.
The company’s Bitcoin strategy continues to attract attention from investors and analysts. MicroStrategy’s approach has influenced other companies to adopt similar Bitcoin treasury strategies.
