On January 5, Microstrategy‘s Michael Saylor posted the BTC chart on the SaylorTracker website. 


Normally, the chart is released before the firm purchases new Bitcoin the next day. Thus, analysts are predicting MicroStrategy will make another Bitcoin purchase on Monday.



Saylor did similar before a recent BTC acquisition


Michael Saylor, co-founder of Microstrategy, posted the firm’s Bitcoin Tracker chart on December 29. The next day, the company made another Bitcoin acquisition.


MicroStrategy bought 2138 BTC all on Dec 30, spending about $97,837 on each coin.


On January 5, Saylor shared a similar chart tracking all of Microstategy BTC purchases. Given its history, analysts now believe the firm is ready to make another BTC acquisition, particularly on January 6.


MicroStrategy’s 21/21 plan also adds to analysts’ expectations since the company will invest about $42 billion in its  Bitcoin acquisitions, using $21 billion in equity and $21 billion in fixed-income securities.


The company even requested its shareholders to raise the authorized shares of preferred stock from 5 million to over 1 billion. Similarly, it is requesting an expansion of its Class A common stock authorization from 330 million to 10.3 billion shares.


Moreover, MicroStrategy has disclosed its intention to pursue a $2 billion perpetual preferred stock offering. This raise initiative, separate from the firm’s 21/21 Bitcoin financing strategy, is projected for Q1 2025, contingent on internal approval.



Some believe MicroStrategy will slow down on its Bitcoin purchases in 2025


BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes expects the crypto market to fall, especially after President Donald Trump’s pending inauguration. 


Hayes’ early investment fund, Maelstrom, claimed it would make future crypto purchases at lower prices, suggesting the fund is waiting for crypto prices to drop.


However, with a projected market slowdown in January 2025, analysts believe MicroStrategy will pause its BTC acquisitions, which could affect the firm’s shares and convertible bonds distribution.


Michael Saylor, however, advocated for the company to acquire Bitcoin during peak prices in early December.

He said:


I’m sure that I will be buying Bitcoin at $1 million a coin—probably $1 billion dollars a day of Bitcoin at $1 million a coin.

This, however, means that Microstartegy might still make more BTC purchases, especially if its trading prices decline.
