According to a <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/vortex-brands-co-acquires-microstrategy-stock-as-strategic-asset-302232437.html" target="_blank">press release</a> dated August 28, Vortex Brands started acquiring MSTR stocks today as its strategic asset. Although the company’s initial purchase amounts to only 10 shares, the mover comes with a broader approach to leverage arbitrage strategy between corporate public markets and the value of Bitcoin.
For context, the Bitcoin mining company’s CEO, Todd Higley, stated, “Adding MSTR stock to our balance sheet allows us to leverage the arbitrage strategy MicroStrategy employs between the corporate public markets and the value of Bitcoin.” He added, “This move aligns with our positive outlook for Bitcoin and our belief in hard assets, including certain digital assets, as the preferred investment and business activity in today’s post-low-inflation environment.”
Meanwhile, it’s noteworthy that the Michael Saylor-led firm also topped the S&amp;P 500, per Saylor’s recent post on X. Citing data from August 2020, Saylor spotlighted that MSTR outperformed giants such as Nvidia in the S&amp;P 500. This is primarily attributable to the American company’s foray into Bitcoin adoption.

Besides, <a href="https://coingape.com/crypto-stocks/mstr/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">MSTR stock price</a> was down 1% today to $140, although it’s worth mentioning that the stock surged 104% YTD and 45% over the past six months. Notably, CoinGape Media recently reported Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Brett Knoblauc to have set <a href="https://coingape.com/news/stocks/microstrategy-stock-revised-to-overweight-mstr-price-target-194/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">MSTR stock price target</a> of $194.

Simultaneously, Microstrategy positions as the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, which appears to be aiding its standings in the S&amp;P 500. Despite the recent colossal growth of AI globally, MSTR outperformed Nvidia (NVDA), garnering considerable investor attention across the market. The Bitcoin mining company’s recent purchase primarily supports this feat.
However, it’s also worth mentioning that the AI giant’s earnings are due today, August 28. This could potentially allow Nvidia to outperform MicroStrategy. It’s also worth mentioning that the NVDA stock price was up 1% today to $128. It surged 65% in the past six months and 166% YTD.
Intriguingly, with looming Nvidia earnings, <a href="https://coingape.com/markets/can-fetch-ai-price-hit-2-as-fet-whales-go-on-buying-spree-ahead-of-nvidia-earnings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">AI Coin FET</a> witnessed a phenomenal whale buying spree. This event has added further optimism on the AI giant’s due earnings today.
