Bitcoin’s price has recently reached new highs, surpassing $89,000 . This rally has positively impacted companies with significant Bitcoin holdings, like MicroStrategy.

MicroStrategy announced a three-year plan to invest $42 billion in Bitcoin through capital raises, reinforcing its commitment to Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset.

MicroStrategy President and CEO Phong Le stated last month, “Our focus remains to increase the value generated to our shareholders by leveraging the digital transformation of capital. As a Bitcoin treasury company, we plan to use the additional capital to buy more Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset.”

MicroStrategy’s premium to net asset value has reached a historic 2.8x, underscoring its position as a favored Bitcoin proxy even as Bitcoin ETFs attract inflows.
