MicroStrategy's buzz is escalating in the wake of Bitcoin's surge past $100,000, despite its stock initially dipping 4.5% at the milestone. This crypto-dependent strategy has triggered massive attention for the firm as it has now amassed $40b in Bitcoin, prompting discussion on the creation of Bitcoin-focused ETFs. A particular interest is observed from hedge funds - making MicroStrategy one of Wall Street's most popular trades. The company's chairman, Michael Saylor, remains unfazed and encourages continuous investing in the digital currency.
Following its strong run, MicroStrategy is eyeing entry into the Nasdaq 100; however, some caution that its leveraged ETFs could be risky. Regardless, its ambitious strategy has allowed it to quintuple in value this year. Amid this, it completed another big purchase totaling $1.5 billion. Meanwhile, it continues to make strategic partnerships, notably with Zebra Technologies for their AI-powered analytics platform. Critics question the firm's tactics but its dominance in Bitcoin holdings is undeniable, even willing to buy during Bitcoin price dips. However, the extreme volatility also means there's potential for a shorting opportunity.
