MicroStrategy says it will raise $42 billion to purchase further bitcoin

  • MicroStrategy’s quarterly sales of $116 million fell almost 5% short of the $122.660 million consensus estimate.
  • The corporation reported a year-to-date BTC Yield of 17.8% to assess the success of their bitcoin strategy.

The biggest corporate bitcoin holder, business analytics firm MicroStrategy, released its third quarter financial results on Wednesday. Notable were fresh ambitions to raise $42 billion in cash and a 5.1% increase in its “BTC Yield.”

MicroStrategy (ticker MSTR) announced its “21/21 Plan,” which calls for $42 billion in capital over the following three years, evenly divided between $21 billion in fixed-income securities and $21 billion in equity. The goal of this program is to facilitate additional bitcoin purchases as part of its treasury reserve strategy.

According to Yahoo Finance data, MicroStrategy had a $50.1 billion total market capitalization at the time of publication.

MicroStrategy owned about 252,220 bitcoins with a market value of $16 billion as of September 30. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of its bitcoin strategy, the company announced a year-to-date BTC Yield of 17.8%.

MicroStrategy increased its bitcoin holdings by 11%, lowered yearly interest costs by $24 million, and funded $2.1 billion through debt and equity in the third quarter. Due to drops in product license and support fees, the company’s overall revenues of $116.1 million fell 10.3% from the previous year and fell around $8 million short of consensus projections.

The quarter’s operating expenses came to $514.3 million, mostly as a result of $412.1 million in losses from the impairment of digital assets, which resulted in a $432.6 million loss from operations.

With a more cautious stance in the face of market volatility, MicroStrategy revised its 2025–2027 BTC Yield target to a range of 6%–10%. In order to increase shareholder value and buy additional bitcoin, the business launched a new at-the-market equity offering of up to $21 billion.

For us, Q3 was yet another crucial quarter. Our 21/21 Plan lays out a clear course for future expansion, and we are still committed to using digital assets to increase shareholder value.

MSTR shares were down over 8% in after-hours trading after dropping 4% during the regular trading session. The stock has risen more than 250% so far this year.
