MicroStrategy is the world’s largest publicly-listed holder of Bitcoin and holds 11 times as much Bitcoin as the next institutional holder.
The company began aggressively purchasing the digital asset in August 2020. It has spent roughly $4.68 billion on Bitcoin with an average purchase price of $29,582 per coin.
Given the size of MicroStrategy's Bitcoin holdings, its stock tends to act as a leveraged Bitcoin play. Its share price has outperformed Bitcoin this year with MicroStrategy up 225% YTD compared to Bitcoin’s gains of 110%.
Upcoming catalysts such as the likely approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF in the US and next year’s Bitcoin halving have propelled the price of Bitcoin and the shares of MicroStrategy that see their value largely tied to it.
MicroStrategy is part of the ETC Group Digital Assets and Blockchain Equity UCITS ETF (KOIN). It represents 5.35% of a diversified basket product that provides investors with exposure to the blockchain sector.
