Since the beginning of 2024, MicroStrategy‘s stock has surged by 650.2%, while Bitcoin has increased by 123.1%. These figures come from MSTR Tracker.
The chart also highlights how MSTR has outpaced the S&P 500 index (24.2%), Nvidia stock (194.6%), and other members of the “Magic Seven.”
The company’s market capitalization has surpassed $96 billion, reflecting a jump in NAV based on the 331,200 BTC held on its balance sheet, which has increased to 3.3x, compared to 1.15x at the beginning of the year.
This growth shows the gap between the company’s market cap and Bitcoin’s price increase over the same period.
