As a seasoned crypto investor with over a decade of experience navigating the volatile and ever-evolving digital asset landscape, I find MicroStrategy’s meteoric rise to be nothing short of astonishing. Having witnessed the birth and growth of Bitcoin from its humble beginnings, it is fascinating to see a company like MicroStrategy not only embracing but also thriving on this disruptive technology.


As a dedicated cryptocurrency investor, it’s thrilling to witness a significant milestone like MicroStrategy surging ahead and making history. For the first time, this company recognized for its strategic Bitcoin (BTC) investments has outperformed tech giants such as Amazon and Alphabet in daily trading volume. This is a testament to the growing interest and confidence in digital assets, and it’s an exciting development for all of us who believe in the future of cryptocurrencies.

On October 25, a staggering $5.5 billion was transacted, solidifying the company’s position in the broader financial landscape and placing it among an esteemed group, often referred to as “The Magnificent 8” by its executive chairman.

MicroStrategy’s Rising Profile

Saylor adopted X as a means to honor MicroStrategy’s latest status, emphasizing the increasing influence of Bitcoin on disrupting conventional market structures.

In a recent post, an individual who refers to himself as a Bitcoin maximalist showcased charts from FactSet, demonstrating that this data analysis platform now surpasses the tech titans such as Amazon and Google’s parent company, Alphabet, in terms of daily trading volume.

According to the data, approximately $5.8 billion worth of MicroStrategy’s stock was traded on October 25. In comparison, Amazon saw around $5.5 billion in stock trades, and Alphabet had significantly less, with only about $2.43 billion.

The substantial increase in the company’s financial expansion can largely be attributed to its substantial Bitcoin reserves, worth over $17 billion (equivalent to 252,220 Bitcoins) as per the latest update on October 28th.

Over the past year, the value of the company’s enterprise analytics platform’s shares has significantly increased by an astounding 444%. Moreover, as of now, it has experienced a remarkable surge of 244% this year alone, based on data from Yahoo Finance.

Furthermore, faith in the company was significantly strengthened as global investment heavyweight, BlackRock – known for supporting Bitcoin via its ETF offerings – boosted its ownership in MicroStrategy to a substantial 5.2% share.

Saylor Suggests Bitcoin to Microsoft

As a dedicated researcher, I’ve recently taken the playful initiative to engage with Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella, proposing that he might want to think about integrating Bitcoin into Microsoft’s strategic business plan.

In the aftermath of news that the National Center for Public Policy Research plans to put forth a plan at Microsoft’s annual gathering, Saylor pointed out a potential investment opportunity worth a staggering trillion dollars. This proposal involves Microsoft investing in the leading cryptocurrency.

A conservative research group pointed out that even though MicroStrategy conducts less than a quarter of Microsoft’s overall business, its shares have surged ahead by an impressive 313% compared to Microsoft’s over the past year – all thanks to its significant Bitcoin investments.

On the contrary, the Microsoft board has rejected the suggestion, labeling it as “superfluous.” They stated that they had previously given the issue due thoughtfulness and concluded that the instability of cryptocurrencies was not compatible with “corporate treasury uses.
