Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) and MARA Holdings (NASDAQ: MARA) offer different ways to invest in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC). Strategy, the world’s largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, saw its stock surge over 370% in the past year, while MARA’s stock dropped nearly 35%. Strategy’s core software business is struggling, but its Bitcoin holdings are valued at over $43.5 billion.

MARA, once a patent holding company, is now a Bitcoin miner with an energized hash rate of 53.2 exahash per second. It holds 44,893 Bitcoins worth $4.3 billion, but faces rising energy costs and dilution of shares. Strategy, on the other hand, benefits from Bitcoin’s price rise without incurring high operating expenses.

Investors bullish on Bitcoin may find Strategy a smarter investment than MARA. Strategy’s stock performance is closely tied to Bitcoin’s price, while MARA needs to tackle rising energy costs and dilution of shares to keep pace. Consider the long-term potential of both companies before investing in MicroStrategy.
