Strategy\u2019s MSTR stock snapped a nine-month run of losses in April, climbing 33% as Bitcoin (BTC) rose nearly 12% in the same month, according to data shared by market commentator Mark Harvey on X.<\/p>\n

The rebound puts fresh attention on whether investors still treat Michael Saylor\u2019s company as a leveraged Bitcoin proxy, even after a rough stretch that badly trailed the cryptocurrency at times.<\/p>\n

A Streak That Needed Ending<\/h2>\n

The numbers in the losing streak were ugly, going from mid-2025 through March this year. July fell<\/a> 1%, August dropped 17%, and September lost 4%. It was the same story in October, which slid 16%, and November, where a 34% collapse was recorded.<\/p>\n

December ended the year down 14%, with the losses continuing into 2026, as January saw a 2% dip and a further 14% fall in February, finished off by a 4% loss in March.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin, for its part, did not perform particularly well over the same stretch either, falling over 6% in August 2025, before rising 5% in September. It then dropped nearly 4% in October, fell by about 18% in November, and declined nearly 3% in December.<\/p>\n

The flagship crypto posted further losses in the first two months of 2026, before a slim gain of nearly 2% in March brought that five-month red run to a halt.<\/p>\n

Looking at the data, while BTC\u2019s losses were significant, MSTR\u2019s were consistently steeper, which is characteristic of the stock\u2019s amplified relationship with the underlying asset.\u00a0April reversed<\/a> that. Bitcoin gained almost 12% for the month, finishing near $76,000, while Strategy\u2019s stock more than doubled that return at 33%.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, BTC was up around 13% over the past 30 days per CoinGecko but down nearly 1% on the week, trading around $77,000 after earlier dipping<\/a> below $75,000 following the Federal Reserve\u2019s decision to hold interest rates steady.<\/p>\n

How Strategy Stacks Up This Year<\/h2>\n

The broader 2026 performance comparison is where Strategy\u2019s April run becomes particularly notable. Harvey\u2019s year-to-date tracker puts<\/a> MSTR up around 9.5% for the year, placing it ahead of Nvidia, Block, the Nasdaq, gold, and the S&P 500.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin itself is down about 13% year-to-date, which means Strategy has managed to outperform the very asset backing its treasury over this timeframe.<\/p>\n

The rest of the crypto-adjacent equities in Harvey\u2019s list have had a rough 2026. Twenty One Capital is down around 7%, Coinbase has lost 17%, and Metaplanet is down 19%. In addition, BitMine is off 23%, and Ethereum (ETH) is down 25%.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, firms affiliated with US President Donald Trump\u2019s family, including Trump Media and American Bitcoin, have also had a poor 2026 so far, with the former down 31% and the latter losing 32%.<\/p>\n

The outlier at the top of Harvey\u2019s table is oil, up 80% on the year. Ten-year Treasury yields are also up around 6%.<\/p>\n
