MicroStrategy Bitcoin purchases surpass 2021 bull market levels

Cointime Official

From cointelegraph by Vince Quill

MicroStrategy's periodic Bitcoin BTC$95,065 purchases have surpassed the highest levels recorded during the 2021 bull market. The company's November and December BTC purchases are also increasing in size from earlier 2024 acquisitions.

According to the Saylortracker page, MicroStrategy purchased 27,200 BTC on Nov. 10, 2024, at approximately $74,000 per coin. MicroStrategy acquired another 51,780 BTC on Nov. 17, followed by its largest BTC buy on record of 55,500 BTC on Nov. 24 at roughly $97,000 per coin.

During the 2020-2021 bull run, MicroStrategy's biggest acquisition was 29,646 Bitcoin on Dec. 21, 2020, when Bitcoin traded around the $21,000 price level.

MicroStrategy's corporate Bitcoin treasury plan has inspired other companies to follow suit, and many traders see it as a positive price catalyst for Bitcoin, pulling institutional capital and liquidity from the stock market into the Bitcoin market.

MicroStrategy added to the Nasdaq 100 stock market index

MicroStrategy will enter the Nasdaq 100 index — a weighted index of the 100 largest companies by market capitalization listed on the Nasdaq exchange — on Dec. 23, 2024.

The inclusion of MicroStrategy in the Nasdaq 100 gives stock investors exposure to Bitcoin — including holders of the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ), an exchange-traded fund (ETF) with approximately $322 billion in assets under management.

Following the addition of MicroStrategy to the Nasdaq index, the company added several new executives to its board of directors, including former Binance.US CEO Brian Brooks, Galaxy Digitial board member Jane Dietze, and Gregg Winiarski of Fanatics Holdings.

Brian Brooks also served as the former United States Comptroller of the Currency in 2021 under the Biden administration. As the Comptroller of the Currency, Brooks oversaw the entire US banking system.

Michael Saylor, MicroStrategy's co-founder, previously said that the company will continue buying Bitcoin at peak prices for the entire life cycle of the asset.

The entrepreneur told Yahoo Finance “I am sure that I will be buying Bitcoin at $1 million a coin — probably $1 billion dollars a day of Bitcoin at $1 million a coin.”

  • Morgan Stanley: 2028 as a Key Observation Point for Global Memory Competition Landscape

    On August 29, Morgan Stanley pointed out that the rise of Chinese memory manufacturers should not be viewed merely as a technological catch-up or low-cost substitution; what is truly noteworthy is that their production capacity may gradually become large enough to alter the supply structure of the global memory market. Changxin Technology and Yangtze Memory Technologies are currently entering the mainstream product market and gradually extending into high-profit markets such as HBM, high-end server DRAM, and enterprise SSDs. Morgan Stanley considers 2028 as an important observation point for the global memory competition landscape. From 2026 to 2027, demand for AI servers, capacity crowding of advanced wafers by HBM, import substitution, and the time required for customer certification may absorb most of the new supply from Chinese memory manufacturers. By 2028, as Chinese manufacturers expand production, the additional capacity from Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron, which had previously initiated expansions, will also be released. At that time, the supply variables in the global memory market will significantly increase. Morgan Stanley estimates that Changxin's DRAM monthly production capacity will rise from 180,000 wafers in 2025 to 300,000 in 2026, accounting for approximately 13% of global DRAM wafer capacity and about 11% of bit shipments; by 2028, it is expected to further increase to 500,000 wafers, and by 2031, it could reach 800,000 wafers. If the expansion proceeds smoothly, Changxin's global DRAM bit shipment market share could approach 15% by 2030, and it may even have the opportunity to surpass Micron in production capacity around 2028, becoming the third-largest DRAM supplier in the world.
