Michael Saylor's Crypto Strategy Pays Off with Staggering 2,930% Stock Rise
In a remarkable display of foresight, Michael Saylor's strategy of accumulating Bitcoin has seen his company's stock, MicroStrategy (MSTR), soar by a staggering 2,930% since 2020. The explosive performance has even outpaced Bitcoin itself, with MSTR outperforming the leading cryptocurrency by 63% over the past three months, as highlighted in a recent tweet by Sentora.
MicroStrategy's bold move to make Bitcoin its primary treasury reserve in 2020 has been a game-changer, propelling the company's market cap past the $80 billion mark. The latest acquisition of 4,020 BTC for nearly $427.1 million at $106,237 per Bitcoin has further strengthened the company's Bitcoin holdings, which now stand at 580,250 BTC acquired for $40.61 billion at an average price of $69,979 per Bitcoin.
Despite the skepticism that initially surrounded the strategy, Michael Saylor, the co-founder and executive chairman of MicroStrategy, remains steadfast in his conviction. Saylor expects Bitcoin to continue to appreciate over time and has stated that the company will continue to accumulate the cryptocurrency.
Saylor's belief in the long-term potential of Bitcoin has sparked a surge of interest from other companies. GameStop recently announced a $500 million Bitcoin allocation, while Tether, SoftBank, and Strike's Jack Mallers unveiled "Twenty-One," a Bitcoin-native public corporation that plans to hold more than 42,000 BTC on its balance sheet, making it the world's third-largest corporate holder of the asset.
Saylor's unwavering commitment to Bitcoin accumulation has no limits, and he has made it clear that MicroStrategy will continue to work "exponentially more efficiently to buy Bitcoin" as the asset becomes increasingly scarce.
