MicroStrategy’s dedication to its Bitcoin holdings has not gone unnoticed as institutional interest in digital assets continues to surge.
The increase in MSTR’s stock price, which has risen by 642% over the past year, surpasses Bitcoin’s growth of 244% during the same period.
Despite the cryptocurrency market’s volatility and MicroStrategy’s substantial exposure to Bitcoin, the company remains confident in its strategic approach.
Bitcoin is digital property. It is superior to other investments such as gold, equity, or real estate because it is digital, available, global, ethical, and useful to millions of companies and billions of people.
