MicroStrategy Transfers $793M Bitcoin: What’s Next for MSTR in 2025?

MicroStrategy, the business intelligence company with a big Bitcoin position, moved $793 million of Bitcoin to new wallets today.

This is according to Arkham Intelligence. What does this mean for the company’s future and for the crypto and stock markets?

MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Holdings Soar to $41.8 Billion

MicroStrategy is a major player in the crypto space, with almost 450,000 Bitcoins in their portfolio. The value of those is $41.8 billion according to BiTBO. The company started buying Bitcoin in 2020 when Coinbase Prime was chosen as their primary execution partner. Since then they have grown their Bitcoin position significantly and their stock and their public image as a crypto investor.

But it’s worth noting that the company has a big position in Bitcoin but the assets are mostly in custody accounts with Coinbase and other third party partners like Fidelity. Those custodial arrangements ensure the security of the digital assets but also raise questions of control and access.

Michael Saylor’s Strategy: No Plans to Sell

Despite the big fluctuations in Bitcoin’s price, MicroStrategy’s co-founder Michael Saylor has no plans to sell. In fact he has said publicly that selling now would be a loss of trust from the community. After Bitcoin went above $100,000 in late 2024 he said selling would ruin the company’s reputation.

This has worked out well for the company, MicroStrategy’s stock is up over 350% in 2024. As of now they are the 139th largest company in the US, up from where they were before. But MicroStrategy’s stock (MSTR) is still down 47% from its peak of $543. Saylor’s leadership still has investors confident.

What Does the Transfer Mean for MicroStrategy?

  • Strategy Clarity: The transfer of such a large amount of Bitcoin may indicate a strategic shift, possibly for security, diversification, or future transactions.

  • Stock Outlook: MicroStrategy’s stock has seen strong growth, but its future depends heavily on the volatility of Bitcoin prices.

  • Investor Confidence: Investors remain cautious but hopeful, relying on Saylor’s track record of successful recoveries from market setbacks.

As Bitcoin continues to show signs of resilience, MicroStrategy’s continued reliance on cryptocurrency as a core asset could play a significant role in shaping its future trajectory.
