MicroStrategy's stock, known for its Bitcoin investments, showed a slowdown in growth following the announcement of purchasing pauses. Despite this, the company reported significant increases in its digital asset portfolio.
Slowdown in MicroStrategy Stock Growth
MicroStrategy's stock is currently priced at $359.67, showing no increase over the past 24 hours. However, it experienced a 1.06% increase in pre-market trading, indicating significant investor interest. The slowdown comes in the wake of a pause in Bitcoin purchases, which the company disclosed in its SEC report on July 7, 2025. MicroStrategy noted that it did not buy any Bitcoin between June 30 and July 6, marking the first such pause since April. In its last purchase, the company acquired 4,980 BTC for $531.9 million, raising its total Bitcoin holdings to 597,325 BTC.
Unrealized Bitcoin Gains in Q2
MicroStrategy has performed well so far in 2025. Company Founder and Chairman Michael Saylor announced that unrealized gains from digital assets totaled $14.05 billion in Q2 2025. Consequently, the related deferred tax expense increased to $4.04 billion. As of June 30, the company's digital asset carrying value stood at $64.36 billion.
Increase in Institutional Bitcoin Adoption
Bitcoin Treasuries data revealed that 135 public companies have adopted Bitcoin as a reserve asset. Recent entrants include Nakamoto Holdings, Trump Media, and GameStop. Additionally, the Tokyo-based Metaplanet has continued its strategy of accumulating Bitcoin, purchasing an additional 2,205 BTC for $238.7 million, boosting its total holdings to 15,555 BTC. Recent bullish trends in the Bitcoin market have raised expectations for continued price growth.
Despite the temporary pause in Bitcoin acquisitions, MicroStrategy continues to demonstrate strong financial results through its strategy in digital assets. This approach, along with growing institutional interest in Bitcoin, may create favorable conditions for further cryptocurrency price growth.
