Bitcoin’s recent rebound finally put Strategy’s record stash above water for the first time since early February. The company’s haul of more than 680,000 BTC is now worth over $59 billion, and its stock price spiked Friday on the good news, with MSTR rising nearly 12% by the close of trading.

The price of Bitcoin has cooled since Friday, falling from a peak near $78,000 to a recent price around $75,600, but the value of Strategy’s stockpile remains just above the price that Michael Saylor’s firm paid for it all.
