The company continued its five-year Bitcoin accumulation strategy, purchasing 155 BTC for $18 million, bringing its total holdings to 628,946 BTC valued at $76 billion.

Since adopting Bitcoin as a corporate treasury asset in August 2020, MSTR’s stock has delivered over 3,000% cumulative returns, outperforming Bitcoin’s 1,000% gain. The company has raised $46 billion through equity and credit, including $8.2 billion in convertible debt and perpetual preferred stock offerings. Its disciplined accumulation model has positioned it as one of the most actively traded U.S. equities, with $4.4 billion in daily volume and $90 billion in open interest, second only to Google in liquidity metrics.

Strategy’s approach has influenced broader corporate adoption of Bitcoin, with publicly listed firms now holding 964,314 BTC collectively. The company’s strategy emphasizes long-term value retention, leveraging Bitcoin’s macroeconomic hedge properties while maintaining a dual identity as both an asset manager and a crypto advocate. Recent equity sales and capital raises underscore its commitment to expanding digital asset holdings despite regulatory and market challenges.

The strategy of purchasing the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding them for one day yielded a 166.71% return from 2022 to the present, outperforming the benchmark by 137.53%. This highlights the effectiveness of liquidity concentration in capturing short-term momentum, particularly in volatile markets where high-volume stocks exhibit significant price appreciation driven by macroeconomic sentiment shifts.
