Strategy Shares Rebound Amid Dollar Reserve Growth and Bitcoin Price Recovery
Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) shares rose 5% to $97.95 on Monday, but this modest bounce does little to offset its punishing year-to-date performance.
The company's stock is down 36% year-to-date and 73% over the past year, while the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ: IBIT) was down just 27% over the same period in 2026.
Strategy markets itself as a leveraged bitcoin exposure vehicle, but its premium for that leverage has meaningfully compressed, leaving it behind the benchmark it was designed to beat.
