Crypto Billionaire Michael Saylor Names Nvidia, Bitcoin Among 'Best Performing Assets' Of The Decade: Here's How They've Performed

Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:MSTR) Executive Chair Michael Saylor highlighted on Sunday that the company has surpassed Wall Street giants since adopting the Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC)-focused approach, trailing only Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA).

‘Best-Performing Assets’ Of The Decade

Saylor posted a chart on X comparing annualized returns for various assets during the “Bitcoin Standard Era,” referring to the period since Aug. 10, 2020, when the company adopted Bitcoin as its primary treasury reserve asset. 

During this period, Nvidia surged by 1,557%, with a compound annual growth rate of 68%. Strategy stood second in the list, gaining 1,173% with annualized returns of 60%.

Bitcoin, the asset around which Strategy has built its operations, has risen 674% since Aug. 10, 2020, equating to an annualized gain of 45%.

Saylor named Nvidia “Digital Intelligence,” MSTR stock “Digital Credit,” and Bitcoin “Digital Capital” as the decade’s “best-performing assets.”

Strategy’s Decline In 2025

While Strategy has indeed outperformed the “Mag 7” giants over a broader timeframe, its performance lately has lagged significantly.

Over the last year, it has lost 52% of its value, while Nvidia, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA), Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) have all generated returns for their shareholders.

Will MSTR Bounce Back Strongly?

The MSTR stock is often seen as a leveraged Bitcoin proxy due to its recursive strategy of issuing equity and debt to acquire more BTC as its price rises. However, this connection also causes it to suffer when the price of BTC drops, which is what happened last year.

The company announced a $1.44 billion reserve last year, aimed at funding dividends and interest without relying on Bitcoin sales during downturns.

Strategy's market valuation stands at $49.21 billion, while its Bitcoin holdings are valued at a little over $62 billion. This means that the stock is trading at a discount to its net asset value, or NAV.

Price Action: At the time of writing, BTC was exchanging hands at $92,034.52, up 1.56% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

Strategy shares closed 5.77% lower at $157.33 during Friday’s regular trading session.
