MicroStrategy, a leading business intelligence company, has been making significant movements in the market, underlining its commitment to Bitcoin. The company priced a
$711M stock offering with plans to buy the dip and also unveiled a $21 Billion stock-sale plan to buy more Bitcoin. Despite the ongoing high volatility, criticism from some pundits, and a major stock sale, the company's shared surged 24% following a US$1.24 dividend announcement. It has fallen back somewhat, though, reflecting wider crypto market turbulence. The accumulation spree hasn't been without consequence; concerns arose about potential forced liquidation as its stock fell over 55% from its peak. The company's aggressive approach to Bitcoin has inspired a wave of 'MicroStrategy copycats', with dozens of firms incorporating Bitcoin into their treasuries instead of cash to inflate their share price. Nevertheless,
Michael Saylor, the CEO, remains undeterred and seems willing to pay 18% dividends to buy more Bitcoin if necessary. Notably, MicroStrategy has been earmarked as a potential 'moonshot' stock by some analysts, and the company rebranded as Strategy, leaning further into its Bitcoin commitment.
