These Were the 2 Top-Performing Stocks in the Nasdaq-100 in March 2025
Which two tech stocks soared last month while the market tumbled? These Nasdaq winners bucked the bearish trend.
March 2025 was a rough month for the stock market. Only 23 stocks on the tech-heavy Nasdaq-100 index posted positive returns, leaving 76 tickers in negative territory for the month. The index itself saw a negative total return of 7.6%.
Only two of the 101 Nasdaq-100 components rose more than 10% last month. Below, I'll examine how Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) and Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA) managed to stay afloat while many of their peers struggled.
The software company formerly known as MicroStrategy saw double-digit gains despite a lackluster performance from the Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) cryptocurrency. Strategy's stock tends to rise and fall alongside Bitcoin because the company has invested $35.6 billion in the largest crypto with firm intentions to keep buying more. The direct market value of that Bitcoin reserve currently accounts for more than half of Strategy's total market cap.
