MicroStrategy co-founder Michael Saylor has reignited the spotlight on Bitcoin’s (BTC) rising dominance over traditional tech giants. In a recent post, he compared Strategy’s (MSTR) Bitcoin-driven returns and market engagement against the “Magnificent 7” — Tesla, Nvidia, Meta, Alphabet, Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft — showing how Bitcoin-centric exposure has outperformed even the most powerful tech stocks.
Saylor revealed that Strategy topped the open interest-to-market cap chart at 100.5%, dwarfing Tesla’s 26% and far surpassing the rest of the Magnificent 7. He added that despite being excluded from the S&P 500 index, Strategy’s positioning proved its Bitcoin-focused approach generated stronger engagement than dominant tech equities.

Outperformance in the Bitcoin Standard Era
Further highlighting Bitcoin’s edge, Saylor shared data showing Strategy delivered 91% annualized returns during the so-called Bitcoin Standard Era. Nvidia followed with 72%, while Tesla posted 32%. The rest of the Magnificent 7 lagged, with Alphabet at 26%, Meta at 23%, and Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft even lower. This, Saylor argued, validates Bitcoin not only as a major attention driver but also as a superior strategy for generating returns versus top tech stocks.
Fundstrat’s Thomas Lee echoed Saylor’s message, describing MicroStrategy as a “granny shot ETF” that gives traditional market investors direct Bitcoin exposure. He noted that Bitcoin and Ethereum have consistently outperformed major market narratives like AI and cybersecurity.
Corporate Treasuries Now Hold Over 1 Million BTC
Supporting this trend, BitcoinTreasuries.NET reported that twelve companies increased their Bitcoin reserves last week. Strategy led with a 1,955 BTC purchase, followed by Gemini with 1,191 BTC and Bitdeer with 333.5 BTC. Other buyers included Metaplanet, Cango, Volcon, and Smarter Web.

Collectively, the top 100 public companies now hold 1,009,202 BTC worth more than $117 billion, underscoring how Bitcoin is being embraced globally as a strategic reserve asset — not just a hedge.
Bitcoin’s Role as a Strategic Asset Strengthens
Saylor’s data-driven comparisons show Bitcoin is no longer a fringe bet — it is outperforming tech’s biggest names while being rapidly accumulated by corporate treasuries. The market narrative is shifting from speculative to strategic, and Bitcoin’s growing role in balance sheets signals a long-term structural shift.
