Strategy CEO Michael Saylor, who rebranded the company from MicroStrategy, recently sparked discussion with one of his signature posts on X (formerly Twitter).
Strategy currently holds more than 580,000 BTC—and it’s not stopping there. Staying true to Michael Saylor’s keynote, “Bitcoin: There Is No Second Best,” the company continues to aggressively accumulate Bitcoin.
In a surprising twist, Strategy (MSTR) has outpaced the performance of the Magnificent 7, key market indices, commodities, and even Bitcoin. Now, many investors are asking: Is MSTR a better asset than BTC?
Bitcoin purists, referencing Satoshi Nakamoto’s 2008 white paper, believe Bitcoin was not designed to be measured against equities or conventional investments.
The document describes Bitcoin as “a purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution.”
16 years after the white paper’s release, BTC is now priced in fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar and routinely compared to traditional investments.
Michael Saylor made his first personal Bitcoin purchase in May 2020, followed by Strategy’s first corporate buy that August. Since then, Bitcoin has gained institutional support from the U.S. government, BlackRock, Fidelity and other financial giants.
With MicroStrategy now rebranded as Strategy, the world’s first and largest Bitcoin treasury company, many traditional investors prefer exposure to Bitcoin through MSTR and similar assets, even though Bitcoin was originally designed to function as decentralized, peer-to-peer digital cash.
