**New York, NY** – MicroStrategy, the software company that has aggressively embraced Bitcoin as a primary asset, is seeing its strategy pay off, with its stock price soaring and its net asset value (NAV) premium reaching its highest level in over three years.

The company’s NAV premium, calculated by dividing its market capitalization by the value of its Bitcoin holdings, has surged to approximately 2.5, exceeding levels last seen in February 2021. This means that investors are willing to pay a significant premium for MicroStrategy shares, exceeding the value of its Bitcoin holdings.

Further illustrating the bullish sentiment surrounding MicroStrategy, the ratio of its stock price to the Bitcoin price has reached its highest point since the company began its Bitcoin acquisition spree in August 2020.

This surge in MicroStrategy’s performance comes despite a dip in Bitcoin’s price since March, with MicroStrategy’s stock outperforming Bitcoin by a staggering 8 times. The company’s aggressive capital-raising efforts through equity offerings and debt financing have allowed it to steadily increase its Bitcoin holdings, a key driver of its stock’s performance.

MicroStrategy has introduced a new metric called Bitcoin Yield, which measures the percentage change in the ratio between the company’s Bitcoin holdings and its outstanding shares. This metric has climbed to 5.1% in the second quarter, further solidifying the positive outlook for the company’s strategy.

While shareholder dilution is a concern associated with MicroStrategy’s aggressive capital-raising tactics, the company’s ability to grow its Bitcoin holdings faster than dilution has kept investors optimistic.

With MicroStrategy showing no signs of slowing down its Bitcoin accumulation, and investors seeking greater returns than Bitcoin itself, the company’s NAV premium could continue to grow in the long term. This highlights the growing appeal of Bitcoin as an asset class and the increasing confidence investors have in MicroStrategy’s ability to navigate the cryptocurrency market.
