According to Eric Balchunas, MicroStrategy Inc. ($MSTR) has risen 7% year-to-date, contrasting with the decline of 10% in the Invesco QQQ Trust ($QQQ). This unexpected performance highlights the resilience of $MSTR and the cryptocurrency market, particularly with Bitcoin ($BTC) reaching $85K. This development suggests that Bitcoin is not merely a high beta version of tech stocks, indicating potential trading opportunities for investors looking to diversify beyond traditional tech investments.
