The cryptocurrency market has regained momentum, with Bitcoin (BTCUSD) surging past $110,000 last week and flirting with its all-time high. With $9 billion in ETF inflows just last month, institutional giants are piling in. Plus, with President Donald Trump doubling down on Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency has a lot of support in 2025.
Amid this crypto storm stands Virginia-based MicroStrategy (MSTR), now rebranded as Strategy, which has doubled down on Bitcoin. Over the past week it snapped up another $1 billion worth, pushing its total to a jaw-dropping 592,100 coins. The bold move came as digital assets whipsawed through volatility sparked by rising conflict between Iran and Israel, underscoring Strategy’s unwavering bet on the world’s top crypto.

With $84 billion in capital earmarked through 2027, Strategy is not slowing down. Strategy remains one of the boldest ways to ride the crypto wave - an unapologetic bet on crypto’s rise that deserves a serious look from investors.
Strategy (MSTR), founded by billionaire Michael Saylor, has reinvented itself as the ultimate Bitcoin vault. Its market cap currently stands at $104.5 billion.
Strategy has roared through 2025 with a 29.5% gain, leaving the S&P 500 Index’s ($SPX) modest 1.7% rise in its rearview. Zooming out, the story sharpens - over the past year, the stock has surged 149%, turning heads and tightening its grip as one of the market’s most explosive plays.
Strategy’s meteoric rise has catapulted the stock’s valuation to 225.9 times sales, far above its sector peers and historical average. The market’s strong belief in MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin strategy drives its high valuation, reflecting both the risk and appeal of its crypto-focused approach.
On May 1, Strategy dropped its fiscal 2025 first-quarter earnings, and like most things in crypto, the numbers told a tale of turbulence and bold ambition. Revenue dipped 3.6% year over year to $111.1 million, falling short of Wall Street’s estimates. But what really raised eyebrows was the ballooning net loss to $16.49 per share in Q1, a steep descent from just $0.31 a year ago.
