2024 has proven to be massive for Bitcoin. Despite the asset’s notable decline just a year ago, it has returned to form and taken on the finance sector with a vengeance. It became the first crypto-based ETF in the US back in January, before surging to a $73,000 all-time high just three months later. Now, the asset has established a new all-time high and is looking to surge further next month.

Recently, MicroStrategy (MSTR) saw its stock hit a new high corresponding to Bitcoin’s recent surge. The stock surged nearly 9% Tuesday to reach a high of $260. That is the culmination of a tremendous growth year for the company. Throughout 2024, the stock has climbed a remarkable 470%, outpacing even BTC. MicroStrategy is already the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin and the world’s first Bitcoin Treasury Company.
