Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy Inc., has responded publicly to the company’s recent exclusion from the S&P 500 index. Highlighting their firm’s impressive annualized returns exceeding both Bitcoin and the traditional market benchmark, Saylor emphasized the continued strength of their Bitcoin-focused treasury management strategies. Despite this short-term stock impact, Strategy remains committed to its strategy despite facing immediate challenges in a changing financial landscape. 92% annualized return stands as a testament to Bitcoin’s potential in corporate treasuries according to Saylor. While market reaction led to a brief decline of 2% in Strategy’s stock price, the exclusion underscores the existing challenges for firms heavily invested in Bitcoin strategies. This event further highlights the growing trend of incorporating Bitcoin into corporate treasury models, questioning traditional benchmarks’ relevance as new data reveals the success of these strategies over time.
