My Strategy (MSTR) DCA Journey: Week 1 - Why I'm Dollar-Cost Averaging into $MSTR

Author: Silivere Bakomeza

Date: April 25, 2025

The Journey Has Begun

On April 21, 2025, I officially kicked off a 20-year public investing journey, a case study I call:

This marks the beginning of my Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) DCA journey, where I document every step of my $50-a-day investment into $MSTR.

“Stacking Shares of $MSTR Like Bitcoiners Stack Sats.”

I’m investing $50 every single market day into MicroStrategy ($MSTR) using Robinhood until I either hit 1,000 shares… or the market tells me otherwise.

This strategy is public, long-term, and focused. I’m not flipping stocks, I’m building wealth and discipline, one share at a time.

If you missed my flagship blog that explains the full philosophy behind this, go check it out here:

How I’m Betting My Whole Retirement on Just One Stock

Why $MSTR?

• It’s the most underrated stock of the decade

• It’s basically leveraged Bitcoin with a business behind it

• It’s volatile, hated, and misunderstood, which is exactly why I love it

While many investors are stacking $BTC directly, I’m going after the company that holds it, leverages it, and amplifies every Bitcoin run. I’m not trying to time the market. I’m trying to own a piece of the beast, every single weekday.

The Platforms I’m Using

Here’s my setup for this journey:

• Robinhood: Used strictly for this public DCA challenge (simple UI and auto-invest is smooth)

• Webull: My private portfolio, where I trade with more risk and flexibility

• Acorns: Just an experiment to see how much spare change can really add up

If you’re a beginner, I recommend starting with Robinhood. If you want more data and flexibility, Webull is where you level up. And if you want something automatic in the background, Acorns is fun.

Week 1 Recap

Visual Share Progress — Week 1 This chart doesn’t show price. It shows conviction.

Average Cost: $343.21

Current Price: $367.99

Market Value: $268.05

Total Return: +$18.05 (+7.22%)

Bitcoin hit $95K, and $MSTR surged nearly 16% this week. That kind of move used to make me panic, but now I just smile and stack.

3 Lessons from Week 1

1. DCA Is Way Less Stressful

There’s no pressure to time the bottom. I wake up, the market opens, and my $50 buy hits. No stress. No overthinking.

2. Ownership Matters More Than Price

I’m not trying to catch the perfect dip. I’m just trying to own a little more each day. And dips? Those are a gift.

3. 20-Year Plans Make Volatility Irrelevant

$MSTR can swing wildly, that’s the nature of Bitcoin proxies. But with a 20-year timeline, short-term noise is just background hum. I’m not trading this; I’m building a position.

Why I’m Sharing This Publicly

This blog is more than a financial log; it’s a transparent experiment in conviction and consistency.

While most people diversify across 50 stocks or more, I’m showing what happens when you focus entirely on one. Every single buy is tracked. Every week is documented. Every emotion, lesson, and mistake will be here in the open.

This is long-term, public accountability. Whether this turns into a million-dollar win or a hard lesson, we’ll find out together.
