Why MicroStrategy Stock Rose Over 21% in February

Shares of MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) rose 21.6% in February, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. With most companies you look for business results and developments, but this company increased its Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) connection during the month. And with the price of Bitcoin rising, MicroStrategy stock rose as well.
