Market Data 
Bitcoin is currently testing levels below the crucial $95k mark and is down by more than 4% in the last 24 hours. In the meanwhile, PlanC (@TheRealPlanC) shared a bold prediction about MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin accumulation strategy, suggesting that the company could hold over 1 million Bitcoins by January 1, 2030.
The prediction is based on a polynomial fit, which is a statistical method used to project future trends based on past data. According to this analysis, MicroStrategy could own exactly 1,039,965 BTC by the given date.
PlanC also highlighted that the current trend shows the company is ahead of schedule in reaching this target. With MicroStrategy currently holding around 386,700 BTC, the polynomial trendline indicates that by December 8, 2025, their holdings will surpass the current amount, suggesting that they are on track to exceed the 1 million BTC mark a year earlier than initially projected. The trendline shows a consistent trend in their Bitcoin accumulation, showcasing the idea that MicroStrategy’s aggressive purchasing strategy will continue.
MicroStrategy’s 2030 Outlook
MicroStrategy has made Bitcoin purchases, with an average purchase price of $35,180 per coin by April 2024. This has resulted in an unrealized gain of over 80% on their holdings. The company has been increasing its share count by over 80% in the last four years to fund these Bitcoin purchases, but this has also led to a sharp rise in liabilities, from $913 million in 2020 to $3.95 billion by Q1 2024.
As of now, MicroStrategy owns around 386,700 Bitcoins, bought for $21.9 billion at an average price of $56,761 per Bitcoin. While the company’s stock has surged over 515% this year, it dropped more than 15% last week after short-seller Citron Research announced they were betting against it.
MicroStrategy has acquired 55,500 BTC for ~$5.4 billion at ~$97,862 per #bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 35.2% QTD and 59.3% YTD. As of 11/24/2024, we hodl 386,700 $BTC acquired for ~$21.9 billion at ~$56,761 per bitcoin. $MSTR

Best vs Worst Case Scenarios
MicroStrategy’s future depends heavily on Bitcoin’s price movement. In the worst-case scenario, if Bitcoin’s value collapses before MicroStrategy’s subscription business grows enough to counterbalance its declining legacy revenue, the company’s valuation could drop sharply due to dilution and rising debt.
In the best-case scenario, if Bitcoin’s price soars, MicroStrategy’s balance sheet would strengthen significantly. Bullish predictions for Bitcoin’s future include a potential price of $3.8 million by 2030 by Cathie Wood, Ark Invest), $1 million by 2040-2042 by Chamath Palihapitiya, and even $1 billion by 2028-2030 by Fidelity.
MicroStrategy’s Current Market Snapshot
If Bitcoin hits even a fraction of these price targets, MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin holdings could far exceed its current market value. For example, if Bitcoin’s price reaches $1 million by 2030 and MicroStrategy doubles its Bitcoin holdings, its stake could reach a staggering $380 billion. Assuming these holdings still account for 25% of its enterprise value, the company could grow to $1.5 trillion, offering investors a massive potential return of 50x from its current value.
On the flip side, many analysts fear that such a huge accumulation might be a matter of concern because if MSTR plans to sell Bitcoin it will bring a huge liquidity crisis in the crypto market bigger than ever.
The rate MSTR going the set target is achievable if the company holds bitcoin for another 4 years. What do you think?
