MSTR Continues to Expand Bitcoin Holding: What's the Path Forward?
MicroStrategy MSTR, doing business as 'Strategy,' is the world's largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, which reinforced its bullish stance by purchasing 10,100 BTC for $1.05 billion, at an average price of $104,080 per coin between June 9 and June 15, 2025. This marks MSTR's second major Bitcoin purchase in June, reinforcing its aggressive treasury strategy amid market volatility driven by the Israel-Iran conflict. The company's total Bitcoin holdings have now grown to approximately 592,100 Bitcoin, which is worth more than $63 billion. Since initiating its Bitcoin strategy in 2020, MSTR stock has surged by more than 3,000%, reflecting the exponential rise in Bitcoin's price and investor confidence in the firm's bold treasury approach. Strategy now controls more Bitcoin than any other publicly traded company, solidifying its position as a pioneer in institutional crypto adoption. The recent Bitcoin purchase was financed through multiple capital-raising initiatives. The company utilized proceeds from its STRK and STRF at-the-market (ATM) equity programs, along with the $979.7 million initial public offering (IPO) of STRD preferred shares, completed on June 10, 2025. In addition to expanding its Bitcoin holdings, Strategy reported a 13.7% year-to-date yield on its BTC treasury, underscoring the strength of its long-term investment thesis. Encouraged by this performance, the company has raised its full-year 2025 targets, now aiming for a 25% BTC yield and a $15 billion total Bitcoin gain. MSTR Faces Pressure From Rising Crypto Rivals Compared to Strategy, MARA Holdings MARA and Coinbase COIN offer two distinctly different approaches to crypto exposure. MARA Holdings stands out as one of the largest Bitcoin miners, holding 47,531 BTC at the end of the first quarter of 2025. MARA Holdings combines long-term asset accumulation with operational efficiency, leveraging low-cost mining to maintain strong liquidity. Coinbase is the largest U.S.-based cryptocurrency exchange, with a well-diversified business model spanning trading, custody, staking and merchant services. Coinbase's robust regulatory standing and global infrastructure provide stability during volatile cycles. With rising crypto adoption, transaction growth and utility expansion, Coinbase is well-positioned for long-term success. Low leverage and a solid financial foundation further support its ability to scale operations and serve both retail and institutional investors effectively. MSTR's Price Performance, Valuation & Estimates Shares of Strategy have gained 27.4% year to date compared with the Zacks Computer – Software industry's return of 11.3%. MSTR shares have outperformed Coinbase and MARA Holdings. While COIN shares returned 18.9%, MARA Holdings dipped 13.6%. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research MSTR has a Value Score of F. It is currently trading at a Price/Book ratio of 3.05 compared to the sector's 9.67X. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for MSTR's 2025 loss is currently pegged at $15.73 per share, unchanged over the past 30 days. The estimate suggests a steep year-over-year decline of 134.08%. MSTR stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

If You Have $1,000 To Invest, This Is the AI ETF to Buy
It didn't seem that far ago in the past that the idea of artificial intelligence (AI) seemed like the stuff of science fiction. Nowadays, however, it seems that everywhere we look, AI has a presence. From customer service chatbots to self-driving cars, AI in a wide variety of places that transcend the generative AI applications like ChatGPT that people are turning to daily -- and maybe even hourly. Recognizing how rapidly AI is escalating, growth investors are looking for ways to prosper from the trend. Fortunately for them, they needn't fret about identifying individual AI companies -- the exchange-traded fund Invesco QQQ ETF (NASDAQ: QQQ) provides a convenient one-stop shopping exchange-traded fund opportunity for those looking to invest $1,000 and hold on for the long term. Don't let the name fool you -- AI exposure reigns supreme Although you couldn't tell by the name of the fund, the Invesco QQQ ETF still offers considerable AI exposure, although it's not explicitly stated in the same way as other AI-focused ETFs like the Roundhill Generative AI and Technology ETF or the Global X Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF. Providing exposure to the market's leading tech stocks, the Invesco QQQ ETF has the stated goal of tracking the Nasdaq-100, an index that tracks the performance of the top 100 nonfinancial stocks listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market. In addition to all the " Magnificent Seven" stocks, the 10 largest positions in the Invesco QQQ ETF include semiconductor stalwart Broadcom, streaming leader Netflix, and leading wholesale retailer Costco Wholesale. Company Allocation (Percentage of the Invesco QQQ) Microsoft 8.79% Nvidia 8.62% Apple 7.34% Amazon 5.59% Broadcom 4.80% Meta Platforms 3.72% Netflix 3.17% Tesla 2.94% Costco Wholesale 2.69% Alphabet (class A shares) 2.54% Data source: Invesco QQQ ETF Prospectus Data. Despite the fact that there are 100 stocks held in the Invesco QQQ ETF, it's the top 10 positions that do the heavy lifting, representing 50% of the fund's weighting. Besides companies providing innovative AI tools like Apple and Microsoft, investors have the opportunity to prosper from AI's use in autonomous vehicles with Tesla, as well as semiconductor stocks Nvidia and Broadcom that provide AI computing capabilities. A simple way to surf the waves of tech innovation While the popularity of some technologies -- like 3D printing -- turn out to not provide investors with the lucrative returns that they had seemed to initially offer, the omnipresence of AI in so many facets of society suggest that it's here to stay and become even more deeply embedded in our daily lives in the coming years. While it does, the Invesco QQQ ETF will continue to provide investors with the opportunity to benefit. Naturally, tech advancements will continue, and the Invesco QQQ ETF will continue to serve as an ideal way for investors to have exposure to the companies at the vanguard of innovation, since the ETF is rebalanced quarterly and reconstituted annually. Many experts, for example, suspect that quantum computing will be the next tech revolution. If they're correct, companies that are quantum computing industry leaders and are already held in the Invesco QQQ ETF -- like Nvidia, Microsoft, and Alphabet -- will provide exposure for investors. This ETF's success is clear as day Since its inception in March 1999, the Invesco QQQ ETF delivered a convincingly strong performance, soaring at a clip that exceeds those of both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite. From the early days of the internet through the development of the smartphone industry up to the boom in AI stocks, the Invesco QQQ ETF provided investors with a convenient way to prosper from the recent technological achievements. QQQ data by YCharts. As it has over the past 25 years, the ETF is bound to experience some bumps in the road, as it's subject to the whims of the market.

As if the allure of the fund isn't bright enough, those who fret that a high-quality ETF such as this comes with exorbitant management costs needn't worry.
