$42 Billion Major Move: MicroStrategy Accelerates Bitcoin Investments

Operating in the field of business intelligence solutions and known for its Bitcoin investments, MicroStrategy has announced its third-quarter financial results. The company announced that it will undertake a $42 billion capital increase as part of its "21/21 Plan," which will be implemented over the next three years. Half of this plan will come from equity, while the other half will consist of fixed-income securities.

With a market value of $50.1 billion, the company holds 252,220 Bitcoins as of September 30. The market value of these Bitcoin assets is around $16 billion. MicroStrategy's Bitcoin investments have provided a return of 17.8% since the beginning of the year.

In the third quarter, the company raised $2.1 billion in financing, increasing its Bitcoin portfolio by 11% and reducing annual interest expenses by $24 million. However, due to a decline in product licensing and support revenues, total revenues fell by 10.3% compared to the same period last year, dropping to $116.1 million. This figure was $8 million below market expectations.

The $412.1 million loss in digital assets led to operating expenses rising to $514.3 million. This situation resulted in the company's operating loss reaching $432.6 million in the third quarter. The net loss was $340.2 million, resulting in a loss of $1.72 per share.

MicroStrategy's CEO Phong Le stated that the third quarter is strategically important for the company, saying, "We will continue to focus on increasing shareholder value with the 21/21 Plan." The company also set its Bitcoin return target for the 2025-2027 period between 6% and 10%.

MSTR shares lost 4% during normal trading hours, and by the end of the day, the decline exceeded 8%. MicroStrategy's shares have managed to gain 250% in value since the beginning of the year.
