This year, the company’s stock has soared by more than 515% and briefly earned a spot among the top 100 US publicly traded firms by market capitalization. Despite Bitcoin’s own 2024 gains of 117%, MicroStrategy’s $87 billion market cap exceeds double the value of its Bitcoin assets.

Market analyst Ben Werkman pointed out that the company’s BTC-to-share ratio has continued to climb this year. He also noted that MicroStrategy has $11.3 billion remaining in its at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program, which could fund further purchases.
