Strategy, the company formerly known as MicroStrategy, has delivered a staggering 2,466% surge in its stock price since August 2020, fueled almost entirely by its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy.
Under Executive Chairman Michael Saylor’s leadership, the firm made an unconventional bet on Bitcoin as its primary treasury reserve asset—one that has since outperformed even the biggest names in technology, reports Cryptopolitan.
While peers like Nvidia, Google, and Microsoft doubled down on artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure, Strategy took a contrarian route, allocating billions to Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and fiat currency devaluation. This bold move, considered risky at the time, has now positioned Strategy as a market leader in Bitcoin exposure and returns.
A $33 billion bet on Bitcoin pays off
The company’s first Bitcoin purchases began in August 2020 amid macroeconomic uncertainty and stimulus-induced inflation concerns. As of April 2025, Strategy holds approximately 531,644 BTC—around 2.5% of Bitcoin’s 21 million coin cap—acquired at an average price of $66,000. This represents an investment of roughly $33 billion.
The accumulation strategy has relied heavily on both equity and debt financing. Through its “21/21” capital plan, Strategy aims to raise $42 billion—split evenly between equity and debt—to fund continued Bitcoin acquisitions. Recent milestones include the purchase of 11,000 BTC for $1.1 billion in January 2025 and an additional $711 million raised via preferred stock sales in March.
These moves have helped the company increase its Bitcoin holdings by more than 84,000 BTC in under five months.
Market-beating performance leaves tech giants in the dust
Strategy’s focus on Bitcoin has delivered returns that surpass traditional tech powerhouses. According to recent data, its 2,466% stock growth outpaces Nvidia (808%), Tesla (155%), Google (105%), Meta (91%), and Microsoft (77%). Even in 2024, MSTR had already delivered a 477% gain—well ahead of most S&P 500 firms.
With Bitcoin continuing to outperform traditional assets, and Strategy’s stock acting as a high-leverage proxy for the cryptocurrency’s price, Saylor’s conviction appears validated—at least for now. As Bitcoin gains further institutional traction, Strategy’s outsized bet may continue to reward investors who followed the firm’s playbook early.
Recently we wrote that Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of MicroStrategy, announced that Strategy has increased its Strife Perpetual Preferred Stock offering from $500 million to $722.5 million.
