Bitcoin Rally Pushes MicroStrategy Stock Above $260 MicroStrategy boasts a heavy exposure to Bitcoin, so its stock typically trails the crypto asset. MicroStrategy’s stock (MSTR) has soared 38.54% over the past month. At press time, it trades for $257.81, with a market cap of $52.24 billion. Yesterday, MSTR soared to $260.82 from its previous day low of $226.59. MSTR’s surge coincided with Bitcoin's, which hit an all-time high of $76,460 yesterday. Given MicroStrategy’s exposure to Bitcoin, MSTR's performance closely mirrors BTC’s price action, making this rally unsurprising. Despite MicroStrategy’s heavy exposure to Bitcoin, the company plans to raise more funds to acquire BTC. As reported earlier, MicroStrategy is looking to raise $42 billion through fixed-income securities and equity sales over the next three years. Upon raising the fund, the company would acquire more BTC, increasing its holdings.
