Bitcoins [BTC] The recent rally has brought optimism to the market in recent days. In addition to altcoins, companies related to cryptocurrencies have also made profits.
MicroStrategy stock outpaces everyone
MicroStrategy shares in particular have seen a significant rebound. The company’s strategic decision to accumulate Bitcoin as a core component of its reserves has proven exceptionally lucrative.
As a result, shares of MicroStrategy (MSTR) have outperformed tech titans like Nvidia, Tesla, and Microsoft. The world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder on Monday witnessed a remarkable 15% increase in its stock price, which closed at $1,611.
This impressive rally coincided with Bitcoin’s price surge to $65,000.
MicroStrategy has significantly outperformed Bitcoin over the past year, showing a remarkable growth trajectory. While Bitcoin saw a modest 13% price increase on the weekly chart, MSTR shares rose more than 22% during the same period.
The difference in performance becomes even more apparent when we consider the broader time frame. Since the start of 2024, MSTR’s share price has skyrocketed by a whopping 135%, eclipsing Bitcoin’s gain of 44% over the same period.
Additionally, MSTR stock is up an impressive 258% year-over-year.
A primary catalyst for MicroStrategy’s exceptional performance is its significant Bitcoin holdings. The company’s strategic investment in Bitcoin has proven to be highly lucrative and creates significant shareholder value.
To improve accessibility and broaden its investor base, MicroStrategy recently announced a 10-for-1 stock split. This corporate action is intended to make MSTR shares more affordable for both existing and potential investors, including employees.
The stock split is expected to take effect on August 1 and the shares will be distributed after market close on August 7.
Michael Saylor brags
Michael Saylor recently praised MicroStrategy’s exceptional performance in a tweet, showing a chart showing a stunning 1,203% share price gain since August 10, 2020.
The growth surpassed tech giants like Nvidia (1,050%), Tesla (167%), Amazon (22%) and Apple (108%).
Saylor attributed MicroStrategy’s success to its Bitcoin strategy and encouraged companies looking to compete with Nvidia to take a similar approach. The company has amassed a Bitcoin treasure worth $7.538 billion since 2020 by aggressively acquiring the cryptocurrency.
To fuel these purchases, MicroStrategy has raised significant amounts of money through debt issues. In an effort to expand its Bitcoin holdings, the company successfully increased a debt offering in June from $500 million to $700 million.
