MSTR Soars as Bitcoin Rally Boosts Strategy's BTC Holdings by Over $11 Billion
MSTR shares rose more than 34% from their August 18 close as Bitcoin's recovery added an estimated $11.1 billion to the company's BTC holdings, valued at approximately $65.43 billion.
The rally coincided with five consecutive sessions of net inflows into US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds, totaling around $1.92 billion from August 17 through August 21. MSTR's market capitalization neared $47.72 billion, while its advance added an estimated $12.17 billion in value on a constant-share basis.
The company sold approximately 18.26 million common shares between August 17 and August 23, generating about $2 billion in net proceeds, but this didn't deter MSTR's price growth. The stock traded at $124.20 on Monday, up 4.15%, and is heading towards its fourth consecutive positive session.
For the four-session winning streak to be confirmed, MSTR must finish above Friday's $119.25 close. Strategy's BTC holdings were valued at around $54.36 billion on August 18, before increasing by approximately $11.07 billion during Bitcoin's price recovery.
