Shares of Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:MSTR) are trading higher Friday, continuing the momentum late Thursday from its third-quarter financial report. Here’s what investors need to know.
What To Know: The company posted mixed results, reporting earnings of $8.42 per share, which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $10.57. However, revenue beat expectations, coming in at $128.69 million against an estimate of $118.43 million.
Investor enthusiasm appears driven by the company's bullish outlook and its expanding Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) holdings. MicroStrategy affirmed its fiscal 2025 GAAP EPS guidance of $80, significantly above the $40.78 analyst estimate. As of October 26, the company held 640,808 BTC.
On the earnings call, Executive Chairman Michael Saylor identified key “headwinds,” including the lack of acceptance of Bitcoin as collateral by credit rating agencies and the need to educate traditional financial institutions.
He emphasized that lobbying banks and insurers to custody and issue credit against Bitcoin is a primary focus. The company’s strong guidance and clear strategy are seemingly outweighing the earnings miss for investors.
Benzinga Edge Rankings: According to Benzinga Edge rankings, the stock’s Growth score of 37.42 contrasts with its very low Value score of 1.55.
MSTR Price Action: Strategy shares were up 7.7% at $274.18 at the time of publication on Friday, according to Benzinga Pro data.

Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share – or fractional share – of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument.
For example, in Strategy (NASDAQ:MSTR)'s case, it is in the Information Technology sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
