What’s 80% higher for MSTR, beyond all time high
Post navigation
MSTR bitcoin barbell strategy: We mitigate $BTC volatility to create Digital Credit $STRC. We amplify it to create Digital Equity $MSTR.
Michael Saylor, the founder and chairman of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), recently described their Bitcoin treasury approach as a “barbell strategy.” This draws from the classic investment concept of a barbell portfolio, where assets are allocated to two extremes—low-risk stability on one end and high-risk growth on the other—while avoiding the middle ground. In Strategy’s case, it’s applied to Bitcoin exposure: they engineer financial instruments to either mitigate BTC’s inherent volatility for more predictable, credit-like returns or amplify it for equity-like upside potential.
