In the ever-evolving landscape of investing, few visuals hit harder than a simple bar chart with massive implications.
On April 18, 2025, Michael Saylor, co-founder and Executive Chairman of MicroStrategy, shared a striking tweet titled “Choose your Fighter” — accompanied by a graphic that speaks volumes about long-term investment returns of Bitcoin and big comapanies.
The chart, sourced from Strategy B, compares the performance of several major assets and stocks under the label “BSE Return.” The clear winner? MicroStrategy (MSTR) with an eye-popping 2,466% return, leaving all others in the dust.
Following MSTR are:
- NVIDIA (NVDA): 808%
- Bitcoin (BTC): 614%
- Tesla (TSLA): 155%
- Google (GOOG): 105%
- Meta (META): 91%
- Microsoft (MSFT): 77%
- Apple (AAPL): 75%
- QQQ ETF: 64%
- Gold (GLD): 61%
- S&P 500 (SPY): 57%
- Amazon (AMZN): 10%
- Real Estate (VNQ): 5%
- Bonds (BND): -19%
This graphic underscores a broader narrative Saylor has long championed: the powerful performance of Bitcoin and Bitcoin-adjacent companies like MicroStrategy, which has famously loaded its balance sheet with BTC.
While tech giants like NVIDIA and Tesla have had massive gains over the years, what’s surprising to many is how traditional safe-haven assets like gold, real estate, and especially bonds have trailed — with bonds actually delivering a negative return of -19%.
