(NASDAQ: MSTR) began acquiring Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) four years ago, and since then, its stock has outperformed every company in the S 500 except Nvidia with an impressive 863% return. The company's Bitcoin holdings have grown to 226,500 coins, currently valued at $13.1 billion, leading to a recent 10-for-1 stock split.
