MicroStrategy (MSTR) eyes S&P 500 entry as $15B Q2 gain from Bitcoin drives massive momentum; BTC holdings now lead all public companies.

Analyst calls MSTR the “500 lb Gorilla” of crypto, reshaping markets with smart tools and aggressive Bitcoin strategy.

MicroStrategy (MSTR) is once again grabbing attention, but this time it's not just about the company's Bitcoin buys. As BTC hit a new all-time high of $109,500, setting the stage for a staggering $15 billion gain in a single quarter and potentially pushing MSTR into the S&P 500 for the first time ever. However, beyond the massive numbers, industry figures like Jeff Walton highlight how MSTR is silently reshaping the entire crypto investment landscape.

Apex Bitcoin Accumulator:

According to Walton, in the last eight months alone, MSTR has managed to accumulate 324,000 BTC, which is 105,000 BTC more than every other company that holds BTC on their balance sheet COMBINED. This makes MicroStrategy the undisputed leader in corporate Bitcoin holdings.

While short-term market shifts may raise eyebrows, Walton encourages investors to "zoom out." He argues that MicroStrategy's aggressive accumulation isn't just about speculative plays, but rather long-term structural shifts. "This ecosystem exists because of MSTR's continued accumulation," he remarked.

Not Just Holding—Redefining Investment Infrastructure:

Further highlighting MSTR's role, Walton calls it the "500 lb Gorilla" of crypto, pulling money out of traditional markets like real estate and bonds and redirecting it into Bitcoin using smart financial tools like STRK and STRF.

He also says MicroStrategy is "the moon that controls gravity," meaning its moves have a big impact on the whole crypto market. When MSTR makes a move, it influences everything around it.

Strong Performance Since the 21/21 Plan:

Since announcing its "21/21 plan" on October 30, 2024, MicroStrategy's stock has surged 63.9%, outperforming Bitcoin's own 47.1% rise in the same period. While critics argue that the growth could be even better, Walton counters that the current trajectory is impressive enough and the future holds more promise.

I’m sure a good chunk of the “negative on MSTR” folks are bots or engagement farming. I for one appreciate your signal though the noise right now 🫡.MSTR is the kind of stock I’d like to keep for decades and Saylor is building a foundation of granite to make this feasible.

He also noted that most of the recent FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) around MicroStrategy comes from low-engagement accounts, possibly bots or trolls, echoing the sentiment manipulation seen in stocks like GME.

S&P 500 Entry Could Change the Game:

If Bitcoin continues trading at its highs, MicroStrategy is poised to report a massive Q2 earnings surge, which would amount to around $54 per share, resulting in a price-to-earnings ratio of just 7.7. This level of performance could finally push MSTR into the S&P 500, paving the way for billions in passive investment funds to flow into the company's stock.

The entry would not only be a win for shareholders but also a major validation of MicroStrategy's bold, high-stakes Bitcoin strategy, potentially sparking interest from other institutional players to join the crypto market.
