MicroStrategy's aggressive investment strategy has pushed their stock price up over 1,000% in since 2020.

In a conversation with Roundtable Publisher and CEO James Heckman and host Mario Nawfal, MicroStrategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor broke down the logic behind his firm’s aggressive Bitcoin strategy. Saylor explained that while Bitcoin itself carries around 50% volatility, MicroStrategy amplifies that exposure by 20–30%, effectively creating a leveraged play on the asset.

Saylor said MicroStrategy has outperformed every S&P 500 company over the past four years — “including Nvidia” — surging 1,000%. When asked about adding Ethereum, he dismissed the idea, arguing that focus and consistency are key: “We stay in our lane… we are long levered Bitcoin, and we think that’s enough.” Read more here.
