MicroStrategy’s trading activity is on par with the combined volume of the top 7 U.S. tech stocks.
MicroStrategy has become one of the most actively traded and volatile stocks in the market, particularly due to its focus on Bitcoin (BTC). Despite having a market capitalization of less than $100 billion, its trading volume now competes with that of some of the largest technology firms known as the “magnificent seven.”
These seven top tech companies—Apple, NVIDIA, Microsoft, and others—each have market caps that exceed $1 trillion, dwarfing MicroStrategy’s valuation by more than 10 times. However, data from Market Chameleon reveals that from December 2, 2024, to January 7, 2025, MicroStrategy saw an average daily trading volume of nearly 24 million shares. This figure positions MicroStrategy above well-established companies like Microsoft (20 million daily shares) and Meta (12.2 million daily shares), with NVIDIA leading the pack and Tesla coming in second.
MicroStrategy’s stock price has climbed by roughly 14% so far in 2025, accompanied by a 30-day implied volatility (IV) of 104, which measures the expected magnitude of price fluctuations in the next month. This high level of volatility is notable when compared to the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which has an IV of approximately 60. MicroStrategy’s volatility is 1.7 times higher than that of IBIT.
As of January 7, 2025, MicroStrategy holds the highest 30-day implied volatility (IV30) among the “magnificent seven” tech stocks, with Tesla as its closest rival, boasting an IV30 of 71. This high volatility underscores the market’s heightened expectations for future price movements of MicroStrategy, particularly due to its strong ties with Bitcoin.
