Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy Announces New Capital Raise Plan of up to $2,000,000,000 To Acquire More Bitcoin

Enterprise software firm MicroStrategy is announcing a $2 billion fundraising plan to purchase more Bitcoin ( BTC ). In a new company press release , MicroStrategy says it’s looking to accumulate more of the top crypto asset by market cap in 2025 to strengthen its position in the market. However, the firm says its planned capital raise slated for the first three months of the year may or may not go ahead depending on market conditions. “The purpose of the offering is to allow MicroStrategy to continue to strengthen its balance sheet and acquire more Bitcoin. The offering is expected to occur, if at all, in the first quarter of 2025. However, the decision whether to proceed with and consummate the Offering is in MicroStrategy’s sole discretion and is subject to market and other conditions. MicroStrategy may choose not to proceed with or consummate the offering at all.” Recently, it was reported that MicroStrategy, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and governments own nearly 31% of all BTC. In late December, MicroStrategy added 2,138 BTC worth about $209 million at the time to its trove of tokens. MicroStrategy is the largest corporate owner of BTC, holding 446,400 Bitcoin worth $43.796 billion. Bitcoin is trading for $98,553 at time of writing, a fractional decrease during the last 24 hours.

Arthur Hayes-Backed Ethena Labs Reveals Plans To Build Telegram-Based Payments and Savings Tool

The crypto project backed by BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes wants to explore a potential market for financial services on the messaging platform Telegram. In a statement, Ethena Labs says it’s mulling building a Telegram-based savings and payment application this year as it sees a $50 billion market for its synthetic dollar USDE . “Rather than compete directly with payments companies on their own turf, we plan to address the payments and savings tool use case via building a dedicated application on Telegram and within the TON ecosystem.” The tool will leverage USDe, a stablecoin that aims to maintain its US dollar peg by opening short futures positions whenever a user provides collateral to mint tokens. “In 2025, we will be releasing a dedicated use case for sUSDe within the Telegram application where users can send, spend and save within a mobile neobank-like experience. Payments will be connected directly to Apple Pay where you can move between a savings asset in sUSDe to direct mobile tap payments from your phone.” Ethena Labs says Telegram’s popularity will support its plan to launch the product for one billion people. “Immediate access via Telegram’s 900 million+ users provides the distribution platform to deliver this product to the world. Together we can provide a billion people a payments and savings product which is as easy to access as sending your friend a message.” Don`t Miss a Beat – Subscribe to get email alerts delivered directly to your inbox Check Price Action Follow us on X , Facebook and Telegram Surf The Daily Hodl Mix Disclaimer: Opinions expressed at The Daily Hodl are not investment advice.
