MicroStrategy owns 499,096 bitcoins as of Feb. 24, 2025. MicroStrategy states the average purchase price as $62,473.01 USD per bitcoin with a total cost of $27.954 billion USD.
As of this writing, /BTC (front-month futures) is down 6.2%, and MSTR is down 7.2%. Purchasing more Bitcoin by issuing more debt and/or equity will simply increase the balance sheet leverage. When and if the Bitcoin price crosses MicroStrategy's average cost, it will be a margin call of epic proportions. I wouldn't be surprised if someone pulls out some sort of manipulation, connecting a major disruption of Bitcoin infrastructure with shorting MSTR stock or through the myriad of alternative leveraged plays.
Remember, when you can't sell what you want, you'll be forced to sell what you have. Happy trading!

Overall, extreme levels of fear in the market seems to have morphed into something more resembling concern. For example, the Cboe Volatility Index fell from its 2022 peak of 36, which it hit Monday, to around 30 on Friday, a sign of easing tensions. Meanwhile, while the price of WTI crude oil slipped from Sunday’s multiyear high $130 of barrel to $109 a pop. Markets have been expecting heavy restrictions on Russian oil, some of which the U.S. has already imposed, and that would reduce the global supply and bring about even more burdensome inflation. And indeed, volatility has been a hallmark of the market environment so far in 2022, with the S&P 500 still down more than 10% for the year-to-date after first sliding into a correction last month. The CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX, has held at a lofty level of more than 30. Ukrainian forces successfully attacked Russian vehicles in the capital city of Kyiv thanks to a public tip made through the encrypted messaging app Telegram, Ukraine's top law-enforcement agency said on Tuesday. That hurt tech stocks. For the past few weeks, the 10-year yield has traded between 1.72% and 2%, as traders moved into the bond for safety when Russia headlines were ugly—and out of it when headlines improved. Now, the yield is touching its pandemic-era high. If the yield breaks above that level, that could signal that it’s on a sustainable path higher. Higher long-dated bond yields make future profits less valuable—and many tech companies are valued on the basis of profits forecast for many years in the future.
