Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman for Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) | X

Michael Saylor, executive chairman of Strategy, said that the company's adoption of the Bitcoin Standard has driven performance exceeding all asset classes and top technology stocks over the past five years. The statement was made on X.

"Five years ago, $MSTR adopted the Bitcoin Standard," said Saylor. "Since then, we've outperformed every asset class and every Magnificent 7 stock. You can now track our annualized results daily at http://Strategy.com."

Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, has transitioned to a Bitcoin Standard by using equity and debt issuance to finance large-scale Bitcoin purchases, making Bitcoin its primary reserve asset. According to the Financial Times, this approach creates a cycle where rising Bitcoin values enhance the firm's capital-raising capacity, enabling further acquisitions. However, critics warn of extreme volatility exposure for shareholders.

Over the past five years, Strategy's stock ($MSTR) has surged by more than 2,800%, while Microsoft gained around 159% and the S&P 500 about 91%. StatMuse and The Motley Fool attribute this outperformance directly to Strategy's Bitcoin strategy, which transformed the company from a niche software provider into a high-beta Bitcoin proxy stock.

Between 2020 and 2025, Bitcoin's annualized returns far exceeded those of traditional assets, averaging well above 150% per year in some analyses. According to Bitcoin Magazine Pro and CaseBitcoin, this performance dwarfs the roughly 14% long-term returns of large U.S. equities, 5% for high-yield bonds, and 1–2% for gold. This highlights Bitcoin's dominance as an asset class.

Michael J. Saylor co-founded MicroStrategy in 1989 and transitioned to Executive Chairman in 2022 to focus on Bitcoin strategy. As reported on Strategy’s official website, he spearheaded the firm’s transformation into the world’s leading corporate Bitcoin holder and remains one of the most visible advocates for Bitcoin adoption at both institutional and government levels.
