MicroStrategy Trails BitMine, Needs $14B to Hit 1M Bitcoin Target

MSTRMSTR

MicroStrategy holds 818,334 BTC and needs about $14 billion more at $77,000 to reach 1 million tokens, trailing BitMine’s 5.078 million ETH (84% of its 5% supply goal). MicroStrategy bought $4.1 billion in Bitcoin in April but slowed its latest weekly purchase to 3,273 BTC via common share sales.

1. Crypto Accumulation Race

MicroStrategy’s treasury holds 818,334 BTC, putting it 181,666 BTC short of its 1 million target and requiring roughly $14 billion in additional purchases at current prices. In contrast, its rival has amassed 5.078 million ETH—84% of its goal to control 5% of Ethereum supply—leveraging a smaller capital runway.

2. Recent Bitcoin Purchases

After acquiring $4.1 billion worth of Bitcoin in April—the largest monthly haul in a year—MicroStrategy has decelerated its pace, adding just 3,273 BTC worth $255 million in the latest week at an average price near $77,900. The slowdown follows intense buying activity funded through various capital raises.

3. Funding and Capital Structure

The company has financed its Bitcoin buildup through at-the-market common share sales alongside its STRC perpetual preferred share program, balancing dilution concerns and cost of capital. It currently carries about $8.25 billion in debt, $13.53 billion in preferred stock, and faces $1.49 billion in annual dividend obligations on non-yielding crypto assets.
