Bitcoin

Yield

<p>Not a week goes by without MicroStrategy making headlines with its wild Bitcoin purchases. While the leading crypto is soaring to new heights, some wonder why Michael Saylor and his team are not selling to take profits. However, their strategy seems clear: accumulate at all costs, no matter the price. Today, with a record acquisition of 55,000 BTC, MicroStrategy makes another significant impact.</p>

<p>With <a href="https://www.streetinsider.com/SEC+Filings/Form+8-K+MICROSTRATEGY+Inc+For%3A+Nov+25/24026365.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">this acquisition</a>, the company now holds <strong>386,700 BTC</strong>, purchased for a total of <strong>21.9 billion dollars</strong>, which means <strong>an average price of 56,761 dollars per unit</strong>. But how to finance such purchases? Thanks to impressive financial engineering:</p> 
<ul> 
 <li><strong>A raise of 2.97 billion through 0% interest convertible bonds;</strong></li> 
 <li><strong>2.46 billion generated from a stock sale program;</strong></li> 
 <li><strong>A remaining capacity of 12.8 billion for future purchases.</strong></li> 
</ul> 
<p>Michael Saylor rejoices in this “<strong><em>Bitcoin yield </em></strong>” (BTC Yield) of 59.3% in 2024. The businessman sees each BTC acquired as <strong>a colossal growth lever</strong>, making his company a unique model in the history of finance.</p>

<h2 id="h-les-investisseurs-crypto-face-a-un-modele-deroutant">Crypto investors face a confusing model</h2> 
<p>This bold strategy fascinates as much as it intrigues crypto investors. By making a <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/crypto-markets/bitcoin-btc-en/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">purchase of bitcoin</a> at such a high price, MicroStrategy sends <strong>a strong signal</strong>: Bitcoin remains a valuable asset, even near its historical peaks. Moreover, the company does not hide its goals: it wants to <strong>maximize shareholder value</strong> by turning BTC into a central pillar of its financial strategy.</p>

<p><strong>The success of MicroStrategy is already inspiring other companies</strong>. Semler Scientific, for instance, recently bought 297 BTC for 29.1 million dollars, bringing its total to 1,570 BTC. For these firms, <strong>the leading crypto becomes a real war chest</strong>. However, the gamble remains risky: the volatility of the crypto market could turn these assets into a ticking time bomb.</p>
