MicroStrategy’s early investment in Bitcoin has proven highly successful, delivering a 36-fold return and cementing its status as the largest public holder of the cryptocurrency.
While Bitcoin has surged by around 150% over the past year, MicroStrategy’s stock (MSTR) has seen an even steeper rise, nearly doubling that percentage with a 300% gain.
Despite its high volatility, MSTR’s stock has outperformed Bitcoin in terms of risk-adjusted returns, according to investment metrics. The company’s BTC holdings have contributed significantly to its growth, with a return of over 1,000% since adopting a Bitcoin-focused strategy.
MicroStrategy’s substantial Bitcoin reserves, totaling 252,220 BTC, are worth about $458 million and account for nearly half of its market capitalization. The company has led performance in the S&P 500, outpacing competitors like Nvidia, while mining firms such as Marathon and Riot also rank high.
Even though Bitcoin remains slightly below its all-time high of $73K, MicroStrategy’s stock has continued to rise, buoyed by new Bitcoin purchases. With institutional investors increasingly interested in Bitcoin—74% handling it in some capacity—the outlook for both the company and the cryptocurrency remains positive.
