Week 8: This Is What Compounding Conviction Looks Like

There’s something different about Week 8.


It’s not the share count.

It’s not the market price.

It’s the feeling you get when your strategy starts to stack — and you realize:

“This is just the beginning.”


I didn’t build this system to feel good after one week.

I built it to hold through 1,000.


This update isn’t about hype.

It’s about compounding discipline — and why long-term conviction compounds faster than any stock ever could.



This Week’s Snapshot (Friday Close)


  • MSTR Price: $384.55

  • Total Shares: 9.164857

  • Market Value: $3,524.35

  • Average Cost: $376.44

  • Total Return: +$74.35 (+2.15%)


📉 Yes, the market bounced this week.

But that’s not what impressed me most.


📈 What matters is what I controlled:

Another full week of $50/day stacked.

No breaks. No hesitation. No shortcuts.



Share Growth Update — Week 1 to Week 8


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 9.16 shares in Week 8 — this is what conviction in motion looks like.

This chart doesn’t show timing — it shows conviction.


And I’m just getting started.



Weekly Market Comparison — MSTR vs BTC, QQQ, SPY, Gold


📊 1-Week Return Snapshot (June 6 to June 13)


Asset Weekly % Return


MSTR +2.83%

BTC +0.83%

QQQ +0.11%

SPY +0.40%

Gold +3.70% 🔥

📈 Gold outperformed everything — likely due to Middle East tensions and ongoing Israel-Iran escalations.

Here’s what Week 8 looks like: 9.16 shares stacked, $3,524 in value, and still buying daily. No hype — just ownership.

But while headlines may spike fear, I stick to the system.



🟨 BakoBar — 1-Week Return Comparison (MSTR vs Market)


Gold had the best week — but my strategy isn’t built on headlines. It’s built on time in the market.

MSTR outperformed most — but gold stole the week. I don’t chase headlines. I stack conviction.

Weekly Share Growth — Strategy Holdings Over Time

What I Learned This Week


Markets are unpredictable.

Headlines are noisy.

Discipline is rare.


Here’s what hit me this week:

Most people are waiting for the perfect price. I’m just buying time.


Every $50 is another brick in the fortress.

Not because of the price I paid — but because of the consistency I showed up with.



My Investing Rule That’s Working (Now Locked In)


A few weeks ago, I broke my own DCA rule to “buy the dip.”

This week confirmed — that was a mistake.


Why?


Because price doesn’t matter when conviction is clear.

What matters is not interrupting the system.


✅ $50/day

✅ Every market day

✅ No shortcuts

✅ No timing

If you’re just getting started or want to build wealth without the hype, these are the exact platforms I use:


  • Robinhood — Where I buy $50/day of MSTR

  • Acorns — For passive round-ups and long-term automation

  • Webull — Advanced charts + more Bitcoin stock exposure

  • Coinbase — Where I stack Bitcoin itself

  • Crypto.com — For global access + BTC card perks


Start with $1. What matters is showing up - every single day.


This Week’s Conviction Reminder


Every empire starts invisible.

Every fortress is built one brick at a time.


I’m not here to win in 8 weeks.

I’m here to own assets for the next 20+ years.

Final Word

I’m not buying MSTR to look smart.

I’m buying it to build wealth when no one’s watching.


From 0.73 to 9.16 shares in just 8 weeks…

Now imagine what this chart looks like at Week 80, Week 800.


Let’s build.
