The Rise of Shares and Michael Saylor’s Influence
In 2024, the shares surged eightfold to reach $543. Since the company began acquiring Bitcoin 
$104,270 in August 2020, its share value has increased nearly 50 times. Founder and Chairman Michael Saylor has continually shared insights about Bitcoin’s future, enhancing the company’s visibility.
MicroStrategy consistently highlighted its performance indicator termed “Bitcoin yield.” The company pursued acquiring Bitcoin using cash generated through the sale of shares and convertible debt, a strategy that has begun to attract attention from other companies.
Companies Turning to Bitcoin
This year, smaller medical device maker Semler Scientific, Japan’s Metaplanet, and several Bitcoin miners have started adopting MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin strategy. These companies garnered social media recognition through announcements of capital increases and Bitcoin purchases.

Following its inclusion in the Nasdaq-100 Index at the beginning of December, MicroStrategy shares significantly declined from $430. Technical analysts noted a negative divergence in the stock. Within five weeks, the stock fell nearly 45% from its peak to its lowest point.
