MicroStrategy Stock Surges 4.5% Despite MSTR Risk Warnings

Highlights

  • MicroStrategy's stock price surged 10% today, fueled by the firm's $1B arbitrage earnings and Bitcoin buying.
  • However, critics claim Saylor's Bitcoin buying had made the MSTR stock highly volatile.
  • MSTR price could hit $500 if Bitcoin price creates ATH at $120k.

The crypto industry has slowly yet effectively taken over global investors, and big corporations are no exception. MicroStrategy is the most prominent name in this, with the company CEO, Michael Saylor, openly advocating Bitcoin buying. Interestingly, this is fueling the MicroStrategy stock price, but the question remains whether the MSTR price can hit $500, especially with the new $1 billion arbitrage earnings.

MicroStrategy Stock Price Surged 10% Today With MicroStrategy Earnings

MicroStrategy has been undergoing a massive transformation with its Bitcoin buying practices. Saylor even claims that Bitcoin will become the 7% of world capital. The firm now holds 446,000 BTC, worth $42 billion at the current Bitcoin price of $96,500. This institutional buying has also significantly impacted the MicroStrategy stock price, which trades at $300.01 after a 10% surge in the last 24 hours. This surge came with MicroStrategy’s $1B arbitrage earnings, fueling investor demand.

MicroStrategy Stock Price

Over the past two years, Bitcoin has leveraged bets on MicroStrategy stock price performance. Just recently, Michael Saylor announced MicroStrategy’s earnings, revealing that they have sold $1.5M worth of MSTR stocks and even reinvested $1.5B to buy more Bitcoin. This has resulted in almost $1 billion in arbitrage gains, earning applause from the experts.

However, despite today’s recovery, the stock price is still down 44% from its prime of $543, set in November 2024. With that, there’s a lot for this company’s stock to recover, creating concerns about its future performance.

Will MicroStrategy Stock Price Hit $500 After $1B Earning?

MicroStrategy’s involvement in the Nasdaq 100 list is a pushing factor for the MSTR price. The recent MicroStrategy earnings report is an addition to that, as the stock benefits from its own valuations. In simple terms, the firm raises capital and buys Bitcoin, which increases Bitcoin demand and the company’s valuation. This helps the firm raise more capital, and the process continues. However, it’s not all just games, as there are certain risks around the leverage strategy. Additionally, other factors like the company’s rising debt, S&P 500, and much more impact its performance and will continue to do so, as the firm plans to raise the authorized share count by 10 billion.

Regardless Bitcoin still remains the wildcard, as the BTC price rally could help the MicroStrategy stock price achieve the $500 mark. However, as the Bitcoin price struggles to reach around  $96,500, it is limiting the stock growth as well. Major analysts believe that the Bitcoin price rally to $120,000 and higher could push the MSTR price moving past the $500k barriers with the wave of traders’ enthusiasm.

Bitcoin Buying Has Turned MicroStrategy Stock Into a Volatile Asset

Not only has Saylor been advocating for Bitcoin, but he has suggested other corporations to reserve a significant part of their portfolio for this digital asset. However, his beliefs are not limited to that, as he recently drafted the plan to make $81 trillion with Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

However, it is not all praise and appreciation for Saylor’s enthusiasm. Multiple analysts claim that Saylor’s aggressive Bitcoin buying strategy has turned the MSTR stock into a volatile asset, where the MSTR price mirrors the Bitcoin price.

More importantly, critics believe that Saylor leveraging the stocks and using debts to buy more Bitcoin is risky, as this could all crash with the Bitcoin price crash. Interestingly, Hartmann Capital founder Felix Hartmann’s MicroStrategy earning prediction has created serious concerns about the firm’s future. He believes that Saylor’s Bitcoin buying strategy could propel the MSTR price to new heights, even making it among the top five biggest organizations (based on market capitalization). However, this could lead to bankruptcy with the Bitcoin price crash.

Bottom Line

MicroStrategy stock price has decreased from its peak, achieved around two months ago with a Bitcoin price rally. However, ever since then, it has been struggling on the market with broader market concerns. Additionally, the BTC itself has moved past the rally, currently trading around $96.5k. With that, analysts have concluded the direct relation between Bitcoin and MSTR price. Eventually, this is the wildcard for the MSTR stock, so the stock price could hit $500, with the BTC price hitting $120k or higher. However, the recent MicroStrategy earnings could definitely help in this path, as the stock price is already up 10% today.
