MicroStrategy's Bitcoin Surge: How a Tech Company Outpaces eBay and Delta in Market Cap
Portfolio Pulse from Anusuya Lahiri
MicroStrategy Inc (NASDAQ:MSTR) has seen its stock surge 204% this year, reaching a market cap of over $32 billion, surpassing companies like eBay Inc (NASDAQ:EBAY) and Delta Air Lines Inc (NYSE:DAL) in the S&P 100. Despite its success, its S&P 500 inclusion is questioned due to its revenue model based on Bitcoin holdings. The company also introduced an AI-powered bot, MicroStrategy AutoTM. Its stock is accessible via ETFs like First Trust SkyBridge Crypto Industry And Digital Economy ETF (NYSE:CRPT) and Advisor Managed Portfolios Miller Value Partners Appreciation ETF (NYSE:MVPA), but shares traded lower by 9.11% recently.
