What Strategy does

Business-intelligence software company that has become primarily known as the largest corporate holder of bitcoin.

Its software sells business-intelligence subscriptions and licences, but a bitcoin pile bought since 2020 and funded by selling shares, convertible bonds and preferred stock now sets results, which mix bitcoin price swings with financing choices. Co-founder Michael Saylor steers the strategy. It renamed itself from MicroStrategy to Strategy in 2025.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal).
