As the price of Bitcoin briefly touched $35,000, MicroStrategy’s sizable BTC holdings have generated enormous unrealized profits for the enterprise.

According to on-chain analyst Lookonchain, MicroStrategy currently holds 158,245 BTC worth over $5.4 billion at today’s prices. This represents an unrealized profit of approximately $746 million for the company’s Bitcoin investments.

MicroStrategy, led by CEO Michael Saylor, has been aggressively accumulating Bitcoin since 2020, making it the largest corporate holder of the cryptocurrency. The firm has relied on debt to finance its BTC purchases, believing that Bitcoin’s long-term growth potential outweighs interest expenses.
