The period after 2020, highlighted by COVID-19’s impact on the markets, shows how big tech stocks claimed more profits, with TSLA, GOOG, and META ranking behind NVDA as the most profitable stocks. All these stocks outperformed the S&P 500, the second most profitable key asset after Bitcoin.

Strategy₿’s Bitcoin Bet: A Winning Formula?

Strategy₿’s MSTR performed so well during the period under consideration that its relative gains surpassed the sum of the other top assets. This impressive performance stems from Saylor’s Bitcoin ambition and bullishness toward the cryptocurrency. The Bitcoin bull remains one of the cryptocurrency’s most committed evangelists and strongest supporters. Saylor is on record, alongside his firm, making massive Bitcoin purchases under varying market circumstances.

Strategy is currently the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, with 190,000 BTC in its portfolio. That accounts for approximately 1% of the total Bitcoin supply and remains part of the firm’s acquisition target. According to Phong Le, the company’s CEO, Strategy has completed $20 billion of its $42 billion capital plan, putting the firm ahead of its initial timelines.
