MicroStrategy Buys 196 Bitcoin Worth $22 Million Marking Smaller Purchase Than Recent Buys

MicroStrategy has expanded its already massive Bitcoin stash with another purchase, but the amount turned heads for a different reason.

The company disclosed that it acquired 196 BTC for around $22.1 million at an average price of $113,048 per coin, lifting its total holdings to 640,031 BTC.

Valued at roughly $71.7 billion, the trove leaves the firm with an unrealised profit of $24.35 billion.

Yet compared to recent acquisitions – including nearly $100 million worth of Bitcoin last week and multi-billion-dollar purchases earlier this summer – the latest buy appears modest.

Dilution Funding Raises Red Flags

Behind this smaller purchase lies a more worrying trend.

MicroStrategy has increasingly turned to stock sales to fund its Bitcoin spree.

In September alone, the company diluted common shareholders by over 3.27 million shares to raise more than $1.1 billion, covering roughly 94% of its Bitcoin purchases in the past month.

Since August 18, Strategy has diluted $MSTR by 3.28 million shares to raise $1.13 billion for buying 10,010 BTC.

⚠️That’s 94% of their $1.2 billion in total $BTC purchases funded by shareholder dilution.

The remaining 6% came mostly from preferred share sales.

This move came after chairman Michael Saylor removed long-standing safeguards that limited share dilution, reversing his July commitment that investors’ Bitcoin exposure would remain protected.

Stock Pressure And Investor Fatigue

While Bitcoin itself has delivered strong gains, MicroStrategy’s share price has struggled.

Once prized for amplifying Bitcoin’s moves, MSTR stock has lately underperformed the cryptocurrency it is supposed to mirror.

Analysts describe a “painful compression” in the premium investors are willing to pay above the firm’s Bitcoin net asset value.

The company’s exclusion from the S&P 500 added to doubts, with JPMorgan calling it a “blow” to its positioning.

Corporate Influence On The Wider Market

Holding over 3% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply, MicroStrategy has become a structural player in the crypto market.

Its regular purchases, often announced at the start of the week, are closely watched by traders and institutions.

Rivals and peers also feel the effects: exchanges like Coinbase benefit from increased trading volumes when corporate adoption rises, while miners such as Marathon Digital and Riot Platforms mirror the same leveraged exposure to Bitcoin price swings.

But with dilution now threatening the investment case for MSTR, the risks are extending beyond its own shareholders.

The High-Stakes Dilemma Facing MicroStrategy

Coinlive views MicroStrategy as locked in a high-stakes paradox.

If the company slows or stops buying, confidence in both its stock and Bitcoin could weaken.

If it continues funding acquisitions by issuing more shares, it risks hollowing out the very shareholder value it claims to enhance.

The strategy that once turned MicroStrategy into Bitcoin’s corporate champion may now be turning into its Achilles heel.

The real question is whether Saylor can keep outrunning Bitcoin’s own performance without destroying the trust that made his company the market’s boldest proxy for the asset.
