As an analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial industry, I find myself somewhat skeptical about the rumors surrounding MicroStrategy (MSTR). Having witnessed countless market rumors come and go, I have learned to approach such speculations with caution.
Once more, MicroStrategy, the data analysis company under Michael Saylor’s leadership, is making headlines. The rumors suggest that they might issue 10 billion of their own shares to acquire approximately $3 trillion in Bitcoin (BTC).
Analyst dispels MicroStrategy rumors
In a recent post, I, Jeff Park (Head of Alpha Strategies at Bitwise Asset Management), have expressed my skepticism regarding the speculation surrounding X. My stance is one of disbelief, as the proposed movement appears unrealistic to me. I firmly dismiss this speculation outright.
As an analyst, I find it hard to fathom such a vast investment. To me, it seems implausible for a company to allocate $3 trillion into an asset like MicroStrategy is currently considering. It’s important to note that the total market capitalization of Bitcoin, given its current market price, barely reaches $2 trillion. Therefore, making such a massive investment would be nearly impossible for MicroStrategy, which has a market cap of approximately $85 billion.
Mastercard (MSTR) isn’t planning to release 10 billion shares to acquire a whopping $3 trillion in Bitcoin, shockingly enough, even on such a festive day as Christmas Eve!

Underneath the apparent concerns, Park additionally tackled deep-rooted problems that have been deterring certain investors from investing in MSTR, primarily because of Bitcoin’s price volatility. He linked back to an earlier post discussing apprehensions related to MSTR and its correlation with the cryptocurrency market.
Bitcoin and MSTR’s valuation
Significantly, Park explained that MicroStrategy’s substantial Bitcoin investments link the worth of its stocks directly to the price of Bitcoin. He emphasized that if MicroStrategy’s value were to drop to zero, it could potentially lower the value of Bitcoin as well.
However, he assured readers that even if Bitcoin plummets to a record low of $30,000, MSTR will still not crash to zero.
Park emphasized that MicroStrategy possesses several options for capital expansion and extra tools to thrive within the wider market. This sentiment is echoed in a U.Today report, where Adam Back, CEO of Blockstream, asserts that MicroStrategy’s shares are currently underpriced, suggesting they are undervalued.
In addition, Park argues that investors should refrain from becoming pessimistic about MSTR just because the price of Bitcoin decreases. At present, the Bitcoin price is surging by 3.95%, currently standing at $97,548, in an unexpected market recovery.
