Adam Back Says MicroStrategy (MSTR) Is ‘Stupidly Cheap’

As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the tech and financial industries, I find myself intrigued by Adam Back’s conviction towards MicroStrategy (MSTR). Given my own journey through the dot-com boom and bust, I must admit that his assertion about MSTR being “stupidly cheap” despite its impressive 488% year-to-date growth catches my attention.

Blockstream CEO Adam Back is convinced that MicroStrategy (MSTR) is still “stupidly cheap.”

This is despite the fact that the stock is up a whopping 488% on a year-to-date basis.

Back is certain that those shorting the MicroStrategy (MSTR) stock will fail because he believes that the stock is still undervalued relative to its Bitcoin holdings.

As a researcher, I would express it this way: I believe investing in MSTR stock presents a relatively safe investment avenue compared to complex financial instruments like 2x Bitcoin ETFs. For example, during periods of sideways trading, these ETFs can suffer losses because they aim to double the daily returns of Bitcoin. This means that even if Bitcoin’s price increases by 1% one day and then decreases the next, the ETF could still show a negative return.

In simpler terms, purchasing Bitcoin call options can result in a loss of the initial investment if the Bitcoin price fails to reach or surpass the agreed-upon price (strike price) before the option’s expiration date. Therefore, accurate timing is vital when considering such an investment.

Unlike Bitcoin ETFs, MicroStrategy offers leveraged exposure to Bitcoin.

Contrarily to some other strategies, MSTR is not impacted by the “decay” problems that come with cumulative effects. As per Back’s analysis, this feature positions it as a well-balanced choice for gaining leveraged access to Bitcoin.

The shares of the Virginia-based business intelligence firm were up nearly 12% on Friday.
