MicroStrategy's Bitcoin Strategy Drives Stock Surge and Sparks Valuation Concerns

The company's aggressive Bitcoin acquisitions have propelled its stock to record highs but raised questions about sustainability and market fundamentals.

MicroStrategy now holds 331,200 Bitcoin, worth approximately $31 billion, making it the largest corporate holder of the cryptocurrency.
The company's stock has soared nearly 700% in 2024, significantly outperforming Bitcoin's 110% rise this year.
MicroStrategy recently raised $2.6 billion through zero-interest convertible bonds to fund additional Bitcoin purchases, underscoring its commitment to its strategy.
Critics, including Citron Research, have raised concerns about the stock's valuation, which trades at a significant premium to the value of its Bitcoin holdings.
While the company benefits from Bitcoin's bull market, analysts warn that its leveraged strategy could face significant risks in a prolonged market downturn.
