There’s a difference between buying a stock and building a position.


I’m building a position.


This week, I bought more shares of $MSTR — just like I’ve done every market day since I started this journey.


But this time, I’m doing something different:


📊 I’m comparing Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) not just to Bitcoin — but also to QQQ, SPY, and Gold.


Because if I’m going to build an empire on top of this strategy, I need to benchmark my progress like a CEO.


And as you’ll see, the results might surprise you.


✅ What I Bought This Week


  • Amount Invested: $250 ($50/day × 5 days)

  • Total Shares Added: +0.78

  • New Total Shares: 8.51

  • Average Cost Basis: $375.28

  • Holdings Value (Approx.): $3,137.63

  • Total Weeks In: 7 of 1,000+


YTD return comparison of MSTR, Bitcoin, QQQ, and SPY as of Week 7 of the BakoInvest challenge.
MSTR is trailing BTC — but still crushing the market with leveraged exposure.

Even when Bitcoin is leading, MSTR is keeping pace — and doing it with leverage.



🔭 1-Year Performance (Zooming Out)


Now let’s go big picture


Asset 1-Year Return


MSTR +121.65%

BTC +47.59%

QQQ +14.33%

SPY +12.10%

Gold +41.04%


1-year return comparison of MSTR, Bitcoin, Gold, QQQ, and SPY as of Week 7 of the BakoInvest challenge.
MSTR didn’t just keep up — it dominated.

MSTR crushed them all.

It beat Bitcoin. It beat gold. It annihilated the market.


That’s why I’m not diversifying this challenge.

This is the horse I’m riding.




📊 Weekly Share Growth Tracker


One of the most overlooked indicators in long-term investing is share accumulation.


I’m not just watching the price. I’m stacking ownership.


From 0.73 shares in Week 1 to 8.51 shares in Week 7.

This chart doesn’t show timing. It shows discipline and scales.

My actual MSTR position after 7 weeks of DCA — 8.51 shares and counting. 



Why I’m Doing This


Because most people jump ship when the market moves sideways.


I’m showing you what happens when you:


  • Stick to a system

  • Ignore noise

  • Build conviction

  • Measure what matters


I’m not saying this is easy.

I’m saying it works.



And if you can’t start with $50/day yet, start with $1 — and let your mindset do the compounding.
