With Michael Saylor at the helm, Strategy Inc. (formerly MicroStrategy) is less about enterprise software these days and more about its massive Bitcoin (BTC)<\/a> stockpile. It's now essentially a \"crypto treasury company<\/a>\", having invested billions into the world\u2019s largest cryptocurrency. Watching the Strategy stock price on a daily basis is enough movement to give you whiplash.<\/p>

With a balance sheet heavily weighted towards its Bitcoin war chest, its share price moves in tandem with crypto market sentiment. For those looking for a leveraged Bitcoin play, buying Strategy shares provides exposure with volatility in abundance. But, its dependence on Bitcoin\u2019s price movements makes it a high-risk, high-reward investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
