Microstrategy has earned quite the reputation as one of the most bullish companies in the crypto sphere when it comes to Bitcoin. It is also currently one of the most profitable companies based on its Bitcoin-related investments.

Microstrategy has earned a reputation as one of the most bullish companies in the crypto sphere when it comes to Bitcoin. It is also currently one of the most profitable companies based on its Bitcoin-related investments.

For context, Microstrategy, headed by Michael Saylor, currently owns 471,107 BTC, which is valued at approximately $45.7 million at the time of writing.

However, what's even more impressive is that the investment company's average Bitcoin cost basis recently hit $64,500.

The average cost basis highlights the average cost that Microstrategy has incurred so far to purchase each coin. This means that the investment firm has achieved an average profit of $32,613 considering BTC’s price at the time of writing.

According to a recent CryptoQuant analysis, the impressive average Bitcoin cost basis is largely due to Microstrategy's aggressive accumulation, especially when Bitcoin traded significantly below $50,000. Microstrategy's historic data reveals that the company has been buying BTC when it was worth just over $10,000 as far back as 2020.

The average cost basis is even more impressive considering that Microstrategy has been accumulating Bitcoin even when it was above $100,000.

How Profitable is Microstrategy?

The company has also been keen on maintaining transparency. According to its official website, it has so far contributed $72.946 billion worth of open interest into the market.

Microstrategy has achieved a 554% return in the last 12 months and 26% in the last 3 months despite the recent pullback. As far as long term profitability, the company has achieved a 2,534% return on investment ever since it made its first BTC purchase in August 2020.

For context, Microstrategy's impressive gains put it at the top of the list of most profitable companies. It even outperformed Nvidia, which performed well thanks to the AI revolution.

Some analysts have expressed concern over Microstrategy's decision to keep buying, despite the company's impressive returns, especially considering that the current price range is just a 33% drop away from its break-even price.

These concerns are mainly due to the fact that the investment firm has been taking on more debt and selling more shares to purchase more BTC. Nevertheless, the company's chairman, Michael Saylor, has previously expressed confidence and optimism regarding Bitcoin's future.

That confidence is not unfounded considering the scramble for Bitcoin that has been unfolding not just in the U.S. Even BlackRock, one of the top investment firms in the U.S., has been buying Bitcoin faster than Microstrategy.

Blackrock currently owns 585,852 BTC, which is substantially more than Microstrategy's Bitcoin holdings. Other companies have also entered the game thanks to ETH approvals in 2024.

In related news, Microstrategy just rebranded in line with its Bitcoin strategy. This move further highlights the level of confidence that the company has in the future of Bitcoin.
