• MicroStrategy's stock soars 1,206% since 2020

  • MicroStrategy plans a $2 billion stock sale 

  • MicroStrategy holds 226,500 BTC, with recent acquisition of 169 BTC valued at $11.4 million

Michael Saylor, the cofounder of MicroStrategy, has written a tweet detailing how BTC has enabled MicroStrategy to outperform other leading worldwide corporations in terms of performance. The stock price has increased by 1,206% since executing its Bitcoin approach, outperforming huge tech companies such as Nvidia, Tesla, Google, and Microsoft.

Michael Saylor presented a diagram showing Bitcoin's superior performance over other assets and MicroStrategy's success over prominent global technology businesses like Microsoft and Amazon. On August 1, 2024, the company added 169 Bitcoins. This purchase was valued at $11.4 million.

According to the latest report, MicroStrategy's Bitcoin has increased by 442% from August 10, 2020, when it made its first BTC buy, outperforming other main market indexes like the S&P 500, which increased by 64%, the Nasdaq 100, which increased by 60%, and gold, silver, and bonds.

After this most recent purchase, MicroStrategy is said to have 226,500 Bitcoins in its wallet. Nevertheless, in the second quarter of 2024, MicroStrategy’s net loss reached $102.6 million. This was mostly due to a $180.1 million impairment charge for the company's Bitcoin.

Regulatory moves and expansion plans

Apart from the strategic acquisitions, Michael Saylor has been an advocate of Bitcoin and has often posted on his page on the X social media network, using images generated by AI and encouraging messages to the audience. This continuous promotional effort shows how important Bitcoin is to MicroStrategy’s business strategy and Saylor’s support for digital currency.

MicroStrategy’s decision to invest heavily in Bitcoin has risks, especially concerning the legal framework. The company has navigated these waters by ensuring it meets the SEC regulations, as seen in its filings and disclosures. The company’s bold moves include planning a $2 billion sale of Class A common stock.
