Ever since BTC started showing potential, MSTR has been acquiring it in volumes unparalleled. In a way, it has been building its entire future on Bitcoin&#8217;s back. This assertion is also based on the fact that the company has been selling its shares to acquire BTC. In fact, the most recent episode saw $1 billion worth of shares being sold for acquiring the cryptocurrency.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the moment, it seems like that strategy has paid off since MSTR is presently performing better than BTC itself. MSTR returns beat BTC&#8217;s returns with a difference of almost 200%<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_175697\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-175697\" style=\"width: 680px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/E8FLvyPVoAI8B8B.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-175697 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/E8FLvyPVoAI8B8B.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/E8FLvyPVoAI8B8B.jpg 680w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/E8FLvyPVoAI8B8B-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-175697\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>MSTR returns better than BTC<\/em> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ecoinometrics\/status\/1423614835263115269?s=19\">Source: Ecoinometrics<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, not only is it selling shares, but the company has also been using other methods to quench its interest in the crypto. In fact, debt has become MSTR\u2019s primary source for buying BTC. Of the $2.7 billion spent on purchasing the cryptocurrency, $2.15 billion has come from debt. The 3 debt offerings were the major source of the 92k BTC acquisition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What&#8217;s more, according to the company\u2019s Q2 report, MSTR\u2019s business has been rising exponentially by double digits owing to their BTC acquisitions. But, could it be that MSTR is relying on BTC to increase its profits since it is the one pumping Bitcoin\u2019s price?<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_175696\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-175696\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/47930971-1628063574426041.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-175696 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/47930971-1628063574426041.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/47930971-1628063574426041.png 640w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/47930971-1628063574426041-300x158.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-175696\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>MicroStrategy Q2 highlights<\/em> | Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/seekingalpha.com\/article\/4442885-microstrategy-incorporated-mstr-ceo-michael-saylor-on-q2-2021-results-earnings-call?source=content_type%3Areact%7Csection%3Amain_content%7Cbutton%3Abody_link\">MicroStrategy<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4><strong>MSTR &#8216;manipulating&#8217; BTC?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not how you&#8217;d imagine it to.

MSTR buying BTC in such huge numbers would create the necessary scarcity. This would, in effect, pump Bitcoin\u2019s price.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_175694\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-175694\" style=\"width: 1800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/glassnode-studio_bitcoin-stock-to-flow-ratio-1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-175694 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/glassnode-studio_bitcoin-stock-to-flow-ratio-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1013\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/glassnode-studio_bitcoin-stock-to-flow-ratio-1.png 1800w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/glassnode-studio_bitcoin-stock-to-flow-ratio-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/glassnode-studio_bitcoin-stock-to-flow-ratio-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/glassnode-studio_bitcoin-stock-to-flow-ratio-1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/glassnode-studio_bitcoin-stock-to-flow-ratio-1-1536x864.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-175694\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Bitcoin S2F ratio<\/em> | Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/studio.glassnode.com\/\">Glassnode &#8211; AMBCrypto<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simply put &#8211; MSTR buys = BTC price goes up |\u00a0 BTC\u2019s price goes up = MSTR holdings become profitable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thus, it can be argued that their codependency is the one thing that is ensuring longevity and profitability.
