The MSTR share price of Microstrategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder in the world, surged by 15% during Monday’s trading session and closed at $1,611. This surge comes after the price of Bitcoin surged to $65,000, with double-digit gains in the last three trading days.
Outperformance Over Bitcoin
Throughout the past year, Microstrategy (MSTR) has outperformed Bitcoin at every turn and is still doing so now. The MSTR share has increased in value by more than 22% over the last five trading sessions, despite the weekly chart showing a 13% increase in the price of Bitcoin. The price of an MSTR share has increased by a whopping 135% since the start of 2024, compared to a 44% gain for Bitcoin in the same period. Similarly, the MSTR stock has increased by a staggering 258% on the annual chart.
Bitcoin Holdings and Stock Split
Microstrategy’s current outperformance is a result of its substantial Bitcoin holdings on its balance sheet. In addition, Microstrategy recently declared the MSTR stock split at a 10:1 ratio, opening up the shares to investors following its extraordinary rise during the previous year. Microstrategy has beaten some of the biggest IT companies on Wall Street, notably Nvidia, ever since it made the decision to keep Bitcoins in its reserves.
Impact on Other Cryptocurrency Equities
Amidst the recent upswing in the cryptocurrency market, bolstered by a robust surge on Wall Street, other cryptocurrency equities such as Coinbase (COIN) and Marathon Digital (MARA) have yielded substantial profits recently.
Influence on Smaller Businesses
Other small and mid-tier businesses are thinking about including Bitcoin holdings on their balance sheet to increase their share price in the wake of Microstrategy’s success. In the past two months, Metaplanet, also known as Microstrategy in Japan, has amassed 225 Bitcoin by purchasing during dips in the price of the cryptocurrency. The share price of Metaplanet has increased by 500% over this time.
Market Sentiment and Future Prospects
Following Microstrategy’s significant rise, a number of businesses, mainly midcap ones and even nonprofit organizations, are approaching to discuss new investment models. In an interview with CNBC recently, Abra CEO Bill Barhydt stated, “They love that model for holding crypto.”
