Notably, MSTR became the most traded stock in the U.S., surpassing such juggernauts as Nvidia and Tesla.
Prominent analyst Eric Balchunas has highlighted the significance of this achievement by pointing It's been years since the stock of another company has traded more than one of those two. General Motors (GME) appears to be the last stock that managed to pull off the same feat.

Due to high demand, the company also recently boosted its convertible note offering to $2.6 billion.
The company's Bitcoin holdings currently stand at $31.2 billion.
