Bitcoin evangelist Michael Saylor has a biblical take on the latest return figures of his business intelligence firm, Strategy (Nasdaq: MSTR), formerly MicroStrategy.
On Apr. 11, Saylor wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “In the beginning was the Bitcoin. Then came the @Strategy.”
Saylor posted an image along with comparing the 1-year return offered by the Strategy stock to that offered by other giants such as Tesla (Nasdaq: TSLA), SPDR Gold Shares (NYSEArca: GLD), Nvidia (Nasdaq: NVDA), and even Bitcoin — the king coin — itself.
While MSTR offered a 1-year return of 92% as of Apr. 11, Elon Musk’s Tesla stood far behind with a 44% annual return.
SPDR Gold Shares, one of the largest gold holders in the world, offered a 1-year return of 36%. Note that gold hit its record high of $3,237 an ounce on Apr. 11.
Nvidia, the leading chip manufacturer, generated a 1-year return of 36%.
Bitcoin, the world’s largest corporate holder of which is Strategy, itself could only offer a 1-year return of 20%.
Except for Tesla, Nvidia, and Apple, other Magnificent Seven stocks performed rather poorly in terms of annual returns.
While Meta with 4% annual return lied in the green zone, Alphabet, Amazon, and Microsoft lied in the red zone as they offered negative annual returns.
