Michael Saylor also flagged Strategy's STRC bitcoin credit spread at 53 basis points, based on a 3.8-year USD duration, a 10% annual return assumption, 40% bitcoin volatility, and a bitcoin price near $81,200.
The rally isn't a one-day story. MSTR stock price has been the number one performer on the entire Nasdaq-100 over the past month, up 48%. That run has pushed Strategy's market cap past Deutsche Börse AG, Germany's largest stock exchange operator, and placed the company among the world's top 400 most valuable firms by market value.
Who Else Is Planning To Buy Bitcoin?
Strategy isn't buying alone this week. Strive's SATA arm raised enough capital to buy another 316 coins today, after adding 6,400 over the past month alone. Separately, Hong Kong-listed Boyaa Interactive (0434.HK) bought 152 more coins, taking its total holdings to 4,468, a move that pushed it past David Bailey's Nakamoto (NAKA) to become the 21st-largest corporate holder in the world.
Where Does Michael Saylor See Bitcoin Going Next?
