Cryptoassets are very high risk and you should be prepared to lose all your money before you invest
Strategy Inc
Strategy Inc Class A (NASDAQ:MSTR) is the most bought tech stock on the ii platform so far this week, jumping four places from last week. The bitcoin proxy company has surged almost 30% over the last week and is up more than 70% in the past three months. Strategy acquired 950 bitcoin this week for $75.7 million, lifting its total current holding size to around 846,000 bitcoin.

Supporting Strategy has been a bullish run for bitcoin which rallied to eight-month highs this week, temporarily breaking above $87,000 before pulling back. Investors appear to be taking profits after an impressive comeback for the cryptocurrency. But some argue this could just be a pause ahead of another leg higher. There is still a long way for bitcoin to reclaim its all-time high from 6 October 2025 at around $126,200.
Also in focus for crypto investors this week is a pivotal quarterly expiration of around $15-16 billion bitcoin option contracts this Friday.
Meta’s Muse
Meta Platforms Inc Class A (NASDAQ:META) is a new addition to the most bought list of tech stocks this week. It has enjoyed very strong demand for its new Muse app, which has grown to become the most downloaded free app on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store in the US and Canada. The AI agent, which can carry out tasks such as booking holidays and helping with administrative tasks, enjoyed 2.8 million downloads in its opening fortnight.
Shopify Inc Registered Shs -A- Subord Vtg (NASDAQ:SHOP) shares soared this week after announcing a major partnership with Meta’s Muse. Shopify CEO said the deal creates an ‘easy and delightful way to shop and check out with Muse.’

Also this week, at Meta’s Connect conference, Mark Zuckerberg released the company’s new AI ‘charm’ gadget, a device designed to use the new Muse AI assistant. It fits on a key chain with a two-inch screen, 5G connectivity and real time voice and avatar stack. It is expected to be ready to ship in time for Christmas this year, but the price is yet to be announced.
Zuckerberg said: “we have shifted our focus to building the best devices for personal superintelligence.” Muse is also expected to become available for Meta’s smart glasses soon.
Shares in Meta have soared around 12% over the last week. JP Morgan raised its price target on the stock from $820 to $920.

Week Ahead
Micron Technology
Micron Technology Inc (NASDAQ:MU) releases its fiscal fourth-quarter results on Wednesday 30 September after the US market close.
In June, Micron reported an impressive top and bottom-line beat, landing the stock with a double-digit percentage gain.
Demand for memory including Micron’s High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) has exploded thanks to its significant role in the development of AI data centres. Huge demand combined with constrained supply has drawn investors to Micron’s impressive earnings potential.

Fourth-quarter revenue is expected to rise to around $50 billion, roughly three-quarters of which is set to come from DRAM. That would be a ~20% increase from $41.5 billion in the previous quarter which itself was already a very sharp jump from $9 billion in the same quarter last year.
Other memory stocks like Seagate, Western Digital and Sandisk are also worth watching as they could move on Micron’s results day.
According to Refinitiv, shares have rallied nearly 545% over the past year. And although shares have pulled back from the June highs, the stock has been recovering since the end of July, breaking back above the key $1,000 level.
