MicroStrategy, the leading corporate holder of Bitcoin, has experienced a stunning 94% surge in its stock year-to-date (YTD), driven by Bitcoin’s ascent toward the $100K milestone.
The company holds an impressive 331,200 Bitcoin, valued at approximately $32 billion, resulting in $15.51 billion in unrealized gains, according to Dropstab data.
Performance beyond crypto
As Bitcoin’s price skyrockets, MicroStrategy’s stock has followed suit, outperforming several major tech stocks. According to the MSTR Tracker performance comparison, only Nvidia, with a 180% YTD increase, has surpassed MicroStrategy’s impressive growth.
MicroStrategy’s gains outpace Apple by 21%, Amazon by 24%, and Tesla by 6%, underscoring its position as a dominant proxy for Bitcoin investment. While its enterprise analytics business performs steadily, the company’s valuation remains closely tied to Bitcoin’s volatile market.
Risks of overreliance on BTC
Despite its success, MicroStrategy faces risks due to its heavy dependence on Bitcoin. A sharp decline in Bitcoin’s price could significantly impact its valuation and stock performance.
With its net asset value premium currently at 3.3x, the company’s speculative appeal could also amplify market swings. As Bitcoin nears $100K, analysts caution that profit-taking could emerge, potentially leading to heightened volatility.
MicroStrategy set to exceed Intel
On November 19, MicroStrategy’s market capitalization crossed $100 billion, marking a major milestone. Analysts predict continued growth as the company’s Bitcoin acquisition strategy gains momentum.
With its market cap nearing $102 billion as of November 20, MicroStrategy is poised to overtake Intel, signaling its growing dominance in the tech and crypto sectors.
CEO Michael Saylor recently revealed plans to present a brief pitch to Microsoft’s board, advocating for Bitcoin investment—a move that reflects the company’s unwavering commitment to the crypto space.
