Shares of Strategy Inc. increased by 5.04% as the stock crossed above the 20-day SMA, reflecting positive investor sentiment. This surge follows the company's recent acquisition of 1,287 Bitcoin, bringing its total holdings to 673,783 BTC, and MSCI's decision to maintain the inclusion of digital asset companies in its indexes, which reassured investors about the stability of the market for these firms. The combination of these factors indicates a strong confidence in the company's future performance, despite previous significant declines in its stock price.
