MicroStrategy has recently seen a sharp incline, securing its inclusion in the Nasdaq 100, largely fuelled by its bitcoin-focused strategy. Despite plunges and frequent coherence with bitcoin’s market dynamics, the firm's shares surged by more than 570% this year. Besides, MicroStrategy continues to aggressively purchase bitcoin with a current holding of around 439,000 BTC. The company’s strategy has also ensured 'intelligent leverage' thereby stirring debate about its risk or reward potential.
Brian Brooks, former Binance.US CEO, joined MicroStrategy's board as part of its governance enhancement. Rumours suggest the company may pause bitcoin buys in January, which some analysts characterize as a Ponzi scheme, while others argue their debt concerns are overblown. Others highlight their stock premium over bitcoin stash nearing 120%. There’s also speculation about their S&P 500 inclusion following the Nasdaq 100 nod, despite concerns it could introduce more risk for fund investors.
In all, their bold financial engineering, such as hoarding cryptocurrency, has triggered both admiration and skepticism in market watchers.
