MicroStrategy Expands Bitcoin Holdings as Nasdaq 100 Inclusion Nears

The company’s aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy has raised its market value and sparked discussions about risks and future regulatory impacts.

MicroStrategy has added $45 billion in Bitcoin over six weeks, boosting its total holdings and aligning with its upcoming inclusion in the Nasdaq 100 index.
The company plans to raise $42 billion through fixed-income instruments like preferred stock and convertible bonds, with potential adjustments based on market enthusiasm.
Michael Saylor emphasizes 'intelligent leverage' to maximize shareholder value, despite concerns about the high dollar-cost average of $61,000 per Bitcoin.
MicroStrategy’s transformation into a 'Bitcoin Treasury company' has driven a 500% stock price surge in 2024, far outpacing Bitcoin’s 150% gain.
Critics highlight structural inefficiencies in MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin exposure and risks tied to its strategy, especially if Bitcoin prices face significant pullbacks.
