MicroStrategy (MSTR) surged 17.56% to $144.82 on Thursday, driven by renewed Bitcoin purchases and a broader rally in crypto-linked assets. The company resumed buying Bitcoin after a two-month pause, adding 4,603 BTC for approximately $370 million, which lifted its total holdings to 845,050 coins. The move coincided with a 5% rise in Bitcoin and Ethereum prices, amplifying enthusiasm for crypto-related equities.

What Happened

The stock climbed as MicroStrategy’s CEO, Michael Saylor, signaled renewed commitment to its Bitcoin strategy. The company’s latest purchase marks a continuation of its long-term approach to holding Bitcoin as corporate treasury. This action came amid broader market optimism fueled by a 5% jump in Bitcoin and Ethereum prices. Multiple reports highlighted the leverage effect in crypto-linked equities, noting that MSTR and other related stocks moved at twice the pace of the underlying crypto assets. The stock’s performance also aligned with a broader market rally, as the U.S. indexes moved upward and investors reacted to a dovish tone from Federal Reserve officials.

What The Data Shows

The stock’s 17.56% gain was the largest in a session over the past 8 trading days, during which MSTR rose 9.7% from $127.94 to $140.35. The move pushed the stock to a new 52-week high, with 78 fresh 52-week highs recorded on the day. Options activity showed heavy call buying, with $153.2 million in call premiums compared to $14.4 million in put premiums. The largest single print was $17.8 million. Despite the rally, the company remains unprofitable with an EPS of -99.30 for the trailing twelve months and a beta of 3.55, reflecting its high volatility.

What To Watch

MicroStrategy’s next key event is its upcoming earnings report, which will provide insight into the financial impact of its Bitcoin holdings. Investors will also monitor the breadth of coverage, as 27 stories from 13 sources have already appeared in the last 36 hours.
