Bankless Take:

MicroStrategy continues to set itself apart as a corporate Bitcoin powerhouse, now holding over 2% of Bitcoin's fixed supply. The company’s aggressive strategy—leveraging equity and debt—has not only amplified its BTC holdings but also pushed its valuation well above net Bitcoin asset value. While some investors question the sustainability of its premium-to-NAV approach, analysts highlight that Bitcoin's price stability near $100K provides a runway for continued buying. The company's Nasdaq 100 inclusion this month only strengthens its visibility and ability to raise capital, reinforcing its position as a critical player in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
