Microstrategy: Four Years of Corporate Bitcoin DCA
MSTR is one of a kind, but there are lessons to learn from it
Microstrategy is the OG player in the domain of corporate Bitcoin stacking.
Their journey is nothing short of remarkable: four years of consistent Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA), resulting in an investment of over $8 billion that has now grown to a Bitcoin treasury worth more than $13 billion. This strategy has placed a significant portion of the Bitcoin supply under the control of a single corporate entity.
While Microstrategy's approach isn't easily replicable, they occupy a unique position in the market, there are valuable insights we can glean from their strategy. Moreover, even in an era where spot Bitcoin ETFs are available, Microstrategy remains an intriguing stock for investors.
In today's newsletter, we'll dive into Microstrategy's Bitcoin journey, exploring the factors that have made their strategy successful and the lessons that other corporations and individual investors can take away. We'll also examine why MSTR continues to be an attractive investment option, despite the emergence of new Bitcoin related financial products.
