Bitcoin (BTC) has finally broken past the $100,000 mark, reaching this milestone for the first time since its creation after the 2008 financial crisis. The leading cryptocurrency surged over 7% in the past 24 hours, trading at $102,900 early Thursday, December 5, during the Asian session.

This record-breaking surge triggered significant movements in the crypto market. More than $644 million was liquidated from leveraged positions, with Bitcoin accounting for $169 million. At the same time, the recent altcoin rally slowed as Bitcoin’s dominance in the market climbed above 56%.

MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Strategy Yields Big Rewards

MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR) has been at the forefront of institutional Bitcoin adoption since 2020. To date, the company has purchased 402,100 BTC, valued at over $40 billion. Earlier this week, it added 15,400 BTC to its holdings after raising $1.5 billion through stock sales.

This aggressive Bitcoin strategy has significantly benefited MicroStrategy’s shareholders. The company has achieved a 38.7% return on its Bitcoin holdings quarter-to-date (QTD) and an impressive 63.3% year-to-date (YTD).

MicroStrategy Stock Soars

MicroStrategy’s stock (MSTR) has surged over 542% this year, outperforming every major Wall Street index. In just the past 24 hours, its share price rose by more than 10%, reaching $410.85 in after-hours trading.

The company’s market valuation has skyrocketed to approximately $83.9 billion at the time of writing.

A Strong Model for Other Businesses

MicroStrategy’s success, despite not offering a traditional product, has inspired other companies worldwide to explore similar strategies. Its approach of holding Bitcoin as a reserve asset has even sparked discussions at the national level. Reports suggest that the incoming Trump administration may consider legislation to purchase 1 million BTC over the next five years.

Analysts believe heightened institutional demand and favorable market conditions could push Bitcoin’s price even higher in the months ahead. We think they’re right!
