MicroStrategy's Bitcoin Gamble: High Stakes and Volatile Returns
TL;DR Summary
Michael Saylor, executive chairman of MicroStrategy, is facing criticism for his aggressive Bitcoin investment strategy, which involves issuing debt to purchase Bitcoin. Investment expert Gavin Baker warns that this approach could become unsustainable if the company's debt grows too large relative to its size, potentially breaking down what he calls the "magic money creation machine." As of late 2024, MicroStrategy holds 386,700 Bitcoins, purchased at a significant cost, while its stock has seen substantial gains amid Bitcoin's bull run.
