Microstrategy And Crypto Stocks Surge Following Presidential Election
$MSTR
MicroStrategy(NASDAQ: MSTR), a prominent player in the business intelligence sector, has seen its stock price increase by nearly 10% shortly after the election results were announced. The company, known as the largest publicly traded corporate holder of Bitcoin, currently possesses approximately 252,220 Bitcoin, valued at around $18.9 billion. This substantial investment in Bitcoin underscores MicroStrategy’s deep commitment to the cryptocurrency market, positioning it as a key beneficiary of favorable political developments. The broader crypto market also responded positively, with Bitcoin reaching a new all-time high of over $75,000.
This milestone is particularly significant, considering Bitcoin’s previous high of $73,798 in March of the same year. The surge in Bitcoin’s value is reflective of the heightened investor confidence following the election, as stakeholders anticipate a more crypto-friendly administration under President Trump. The election victory is not just a win for Trump but also for the crypto community, which had shown substantial support for his campaign.
Various individuals and groups linked to crypto companies contributed millions to Trump’s campaign, hoping for a regulatory environment that would bolster the fortunes of the crypto market. Their optimism seems well-placed as Trump, during his speech at a Bitcoin conference, highlighted as “the steel of the future,” expressing his desire for it to be “mined, minted and made” on American soil. This pro-crypto stance has resonated well within the industry, especially among major crypto mining companies.
Stocks of companies like MARA Holdings Inc. (formerly Marathon Digital Holdings) and Riot Platforms saw an impressive increase, soaring more than 17% in response to the potential for a regulatory environment conducive to making the US a competitive player in the global crypto landscape. Moreover, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA),, also saw its stock rise nearly 15% following the election results. Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk, who has become a close ally of Trump, spent election night with him, signaling potential future collaborations that could further benefit Tesla and other firms Musk leads.
MicroStrategy are poised to benefit significantly from an administration that supports the growth and integration of cryptocurrencies into the broader economic framework. The industry celebrates this victory, the focus will now be on how these political changes will continue to shape the market dynamics and regulatory landscape moving forward.
