Bitcoin's Slide Hits MicroStrategy Stock and Cryptocurrency Markets

MicroStrategy's stock fell after completing a convertible debt offering to fund more bitcoin purchases, making it the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin. The company's Executive Chairman, Michael Saylor, remains committed to buying and holding Bitcoin, despite the cryptocurrency's recent decline from record highs. Saylor's unwavering belief in Bitcoin's long-term value has driven MicroStrategy's strategy, although skeptics point out that he personally sells shares of the company while advocating for holding onto Bitcoin.
