US chip-making giant Nvidia has outperformed analysts’ earnings expectations, with fourth-quarter revenue jumping 78% from a year earlier to reach $39.3 billion. The better-than-expected earnings report is the first since China-based artificial intelligence (AI) firm DeepSeek exploded onto the scene last month.

Some of DeepSeek’s claims have since come into question.

The last four times Michael Saylor announced a corporate bitcoin (BTC) purchase at Strategy, his stock price declined. In previous years, the market has generally reacted positively to his tweets. Although the company’s average cost basis per bitcoin is $66,357 — still well below current prices — Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) has lost money on each of the company’s last 13 purchases. Depending on how one prefers to calculate the price of Strategy stock (MSTR) as of its November 11 announcement that coincided with a major price gap, it’s certainly true that it’s also lower than all 13 of its latest bitcoin purchases. Saylor’s last four BTC acquisition tweets sent MSTR lower over the following days.

MSTR trades lower on Saylor’s last four purchases Saylo...
