5 Things to Know Before the Stock Market Opens

Another day, another Bitcoin purchase for the enterprise software company that's become Wall Street's crypto bellwether.

The Bitcoin Treasury Grows

MicroStrategy just added more digital gold to its already massive reserves, pushing its total Bitcoin holdings past the 640,000 mark. The company continues to double down on its crypto strategy while traditional finance executives scratch their heads.

Corporate Strategy or Crypto Crusade?

While other companies hedge their bets, MicroStrategy keeps going all-in on Bitcoin. The latest acquisition reinforces their position as the largest corporate Bitcoin holder worldwide—leaving legacy investors wondering if they're missing the boat.

Numbers Don't Lie

640,000+ BTC and counting. That's not just a position—it's a statement. While traditional portfolios bleed from inflation, MicroStrategy's digital asset strategy keeps printing gains that would make any hedge fund manager blush.

The Final Tally

Another quarter, another Bitcoin purchase. Wall Street might call it reckless, but with over 640,000 coins in their vault, MicroStrategy's proving that sometimes the best investment strategy is simply buying what everyone else thinks is crazy. Because nothing says 'financial innovation' like watching bankers try to explain why your digital assets are outperforming their entire portfolio.
