MicroStrategy down 16% after short-seller’s report

Andrew Left tweeted negatively about MicroStrategy 13 minutes into Thursday’s trading session. Within 90 minutes, the stock had declined 16%.

The math behind MicroStrategy’s bitcoin bet

Bitcoin and MicroStrategy are both rallying with win-win math for bondholders and shareholders. Of course, the party can’t last forever.

MicroStrategy started 2023 with a market capitalization of just $1.8 billion. Today, this figure sits at $111 billion.

Michael Saylor’s Class B MicroStrategy stock outvoted Class A 10:1, but so much Class A now exists that he has lost voting control.

In 2023, MicroStrategy’s average bitcoin purchase price was near $30,000. Today, that average has jumped to near $50,000.
