Shares of MicroStrategy reached a record high of $341 today, after a 25% surge within a single trading session. Meanwhile, Bitcoin exceeded the $87,000 mark for the first time, reaching $87,293.
Record High Shares
After more than two decades, MicroStrategy has achieved a new record high. This success was driven by strategic moves and the company's support of Bitcoin as a primary reserve.
Company History and Bitcoin
MicroStrategy was a darling during the dot-com bubble in the late 1990s, but its shares collapsed in 2000 following a restatement of earnings. Former CEO Michael Saylor lost as much as $6 billion in a single day. In 2020, MicroStrategy adopted Bitcoin as its treasury reserve, allowing the company to recover and strengthen its market position.
Financial Metrics and Future
Currently, MicroStrategy's market valuation reached $68 billion, surpassing companies like Equinor and Porsche. The company also announced a $2 billion Bitcoin purchase, raising its total cryptocurrency holdings to $24.2 billion.
MicroStrategy's and Bitcoin's record achievements highlight the significance of crypto assets in the modern global economy. Investors keenly observe the company and its future actions.
