<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="michael-saylor-s-microstrategy-joins-nasdaq-100-after-stock-surges">Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy Joins Nasdaq 100 After Stock Surges</h2>  
<p>As of December 1, <a href="https://coincu.com/295295-7-billion-microstrategy-convertible-notes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">MicroStrategy</a>'s market capitalization has surged to nearly $98 billion, nearly doubling in value from earlier in the year. The growth has been highly attributed to the booming cryptocurrency market, with the firm's stock price up nearly 500% in that time.</p>  
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><a href="https://coincu.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Screenshot-2024-12-14-at-10.42.27.png" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><img src="https://coincu.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Screenshot-2024-12-14-at-10.42.27-1024x685.png" alt="" class="wp-image-296936"></a>

<p>The change, which goes into effect before the market opens on December 23, was announced after the close of trading Friday. MicroStrategy had been highly expected to join the index as investors had speculated the company would join Nasdaq's annual rebalancing.</p>  
<p>The Nasdaq 100 consists of 100 non-financial companies from diverse sectors, including technology, retail, biotechnology, and healthcare. It includes some of the world’s largest corporations, such as Apple, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft.</p>  
<p>By November 29, the market capitalization of Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy stood at $92 billion, ranking it at 40th place in the index. At the time of announcing this fact, the value of the company had risen to even more than $ 98 billion, reflecting its considerable growth in 2023.</p>  
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="microsoft-turns-down-bitcoin-proposal-amid-crypto-rally">Microsoft Turns Down Bitcoin Proposal Amid Crypto Rally</h2>  
<p>Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy is inextricably tied to the success of <a href="https://coincu.com/295166-microstrategy-bitcoin-investment-yields/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a>, which has surged in recent months. The surge also comes with political shifts: the optimism in cryptocurrencies is aligned with President-elect <a href="https://coincu.com/296179-president-elect-donald-trumps-motivation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Donald Trump</a>'s rhetoric to make the U.S. the "crypto capital of the planet."</p>  
<p>This development comes days after Microsoft shareholders voted against the proposal to add Bitcoin to its balance sheets. MicroStrategy's CEO, <a href="https://coincu.com/288617-microstrategy-founder-michael-saylor-criticized/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Michael Saylor</a>, has just recently stated in a meeting that <a href="https://coincu.com/296376-microsoft-bitcoin-investment-proposal-rejected/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Microsoft</a> could increase its market value by almost $5 trillion if it started embracing Bitcoin.</p>
