MicroStrategy plans to raise $42 billion to buy Bitcoin over the next three years. The company aims to achieve higher BTC yield and bolster its returns from holding Bitcoin. Crypto commentators are optimistic about the plan, predicting it will propel MicroStrategy ahead of other public firms and even countries.

Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy is gearing up to raise $42 billion over the next three years to accumulate more Bitcoin, the firm has revealed. The plan, dubbed the “21/21 plan,” will consist of $21 billion in equity and $21 billion in fixed-income securities over the next three years, according to a statement from MicroStrategy on Oct. 30. At the time of publication, $42 billion in Bitcoin ( BTC ) is equivalent to approximately 578,586 BTC, accounting for around 2.7% of the total Bitcoin supply. MicroStrategy’s president and CEO, Phong Le, explained that the move is to bolster the firm’s returns from holding Bitcoin. “As a Bitcoin Treasury Company, we plan to use the additional capital to buy more Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset in a manner that will allow us to achieve higher BTC Yield,” Phong stated. MicroStrategy reported that its current BTC year-to-date yield is “17.8%,” with plans to achieve an annual BTC yield of 6% to 10% between 2025 and 2027. Crypto commentator BitcoinMiningStockGuy declared that he was “bullish” on the news after pointing out that $21 billion “is like the total market cap of all the public miners combined.” Meanwhile, quant volatility researcher Ryan McGinnis weighed in on the plan, opining that it is “escape velocity.” “The only question is how wide will the gap be between MSTR, every other PubCo on Earth combined, and even countries.” It comes only months after McGinnis’ comments on March 6 that MicroStrategy is a “Monopoly of Value.” In September, MicroStrategy completed an approximately $1.01 billion offering of 0.625% convertible senior notes due in 2028 , with plans to use a portion of the proceeds for Bitcoin acquisition. The private offering, which concluded on Sept. 19, targeted institutional investors and enabled the conversion into cash or MicroStrategy stock.
